Sony Corp. this week said that it expects inventory shortages of the Playstation 3 to be alleviated by May.
Jack Tretton, chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment America, told Reuters that it anticipates inventory to catch up with demand and have product fully in stock in the U.S. in Apr. or May.
The PS3 is on track to ship 2 million units to U.S. retailers by the end of Mar. Sony expects to ship 6 million units worldwide by the end of the fiscal year.
The PS3 is a high-end gaming system that features a multi-core Cell processor and a Blu-ray disc drive for high-definition content.
Sony last week said it would utilize a new hardware specification in Europe that would employ limited backwards compatibility with older Playstation games in an effort to cut costs.
In Jan., the PS3 was outperformed by Nintendo Co.’s Wii and Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox 360 in the U.S.
