I really don't know where to begin on this one, so I'll let the excellent summary over at Joystiq do most of the talking, but here are the key points:

Sony is expecting to resolve "PS3 shortages" by May... HUH? They're completely nuts, in short. They're spouting rubbish at every opportunity, claiming there's a fierce demand for the PS3, when they've sold 1/2 of all shipped PS3 units... um, whaaa?

Despite this fact, Sony Entertainment CEO Phil Harrison says they are under no pressure to drop the PS3's price, since it's clearly selling so well and all. His take on the widespread availability of PS3's sitting on shelves for days or weeks:

"I think the fact that we are able to have a very well organized, very well managed supply channel, which allows us to keep the stores restocked, is a really positive thing. You would be sitting here saying, "Why the hell are you out of stock? Why the hell can't you manage the supply chain and why can't people buy PS3s?" So we're actually doing in succeeding in managing to keep the demand satisfied, so I think that's a positive."

Oy. I can't even begin to figure out where this guy has gone crazy. This is almost as bass-ackwards as watching Tony Snow.

I mean, come ON guys, you're getting completely dusted by Nintendo ever since the launches in November, and the Xbox 360 is more than keeping pace, if not blowing your socks clean off.

Add to this the recent tragic FUBAR wherein Sony blackballed Kotaku for reporting a rumor about the future of one of the PS3 services. Which got them promptly slammed, both by other gaming news sites of note and by the oodles of Kotaku readers in the comments of the offending posts. Though in the end, everything resolved itself for the better, this was a total scandal that rocked the flimsy sinking ship that Harrison continues to steer on the wrong course, powered on delusional visions and false rhetoric, while everyone else is bailing like mad.

In the end, I'm speechless. Dismayed. Let me let this song speak for me in summarizing my sorrows:
