A recent research study has checked over one hundred and fifty retailers to find out what proportion has the PlayStation 3 in stock. Over 58% of the retailers questioned had at least one unit but a mere 3% had Nintendo’s Wii in stock. This gives us some evidence of the PS3’s sale decrease, but this could be due to Sony shipping more systems.

Paul McNealy of American Technology research said “Our channel checks yesterday of 150 retail stores, from boutiques to big-box retailers, showed that 87 stores had PS3 consoles in stock, while only five had Wiis in stock,

We’ll be looking forward to the European launch of the PS3 to see if the system has any shortages in that part of the globe.

Id assume this is coming from people associated with Itrackr. This isn't really too accurate because some stores are not listed on there. There are alot of stores that aren't included in www.itrackr.com search which could raise or lower the % of each. But yes, that's around the %s give or take a few if not including online stores.

I don't care which stores it includes. Where I live, they have the PS3s in stock at every Target, Wal Mart, Gamestop, EB, and any other store that would carry them.
