Ps3 production steps up for Santa

From Forbes via Evil Avatar, news that Asustek Computer Inc will deliver PlayStation 3 game consoles to Sony Corp this month as the Japanese firm moves to step up output to meet demand for the Christmas shopping season. The Unconfirmed report notes that monthly shipments will start at 200,000 units, rising to 2 million in October. However Gamasutra still think this is unlikely to meet demand. Now I'm glad I didn't wake Santa up.

Santa dosen't buy the presents, he's like got a global licence to be given all the presents the boys and girls need free of charge. Thats why he was so pissed at Microsoft last year....

I thought you knew that!

Anonymous said...

Nope. Din't really...

But how can he afford his beasts? What do they eat? What did Santa have against MS? Is there a conspiracy? Are the Americans behind it?

Oh, dear....

I need to relax. really.

Unknown said...

no your fine, its a bit of a shock the first time you hear stuff about the real Santa...... is okay really.....

If you remember Santa had to fly to Japan to pick up the spare xbox360 what weren't selling and fly allllllll the way back to the North pole, wrap em and then go back out and deliver em.

(secret........) reindeer are magic and they don't need food......

And he never brought anyone any plasma TVs.. Makes you think, right? Perhaps Mr. Santa is not what we were all conned into believing... And he's a Coca Cola mascot too...

Unknown said...

no no no, Santa said this would happen, he told me about detractors and how they would try and get me to beleive he didn't exist, but he does and hes really real...
