Where are all the PS3s?

So this is odd. In reading up on Final Fantasy XIII , I decided to see how much it would cost to buy a PS3 and the game. The system is all but sold out all over the Internet! It’s backordered on Newegg , GameStop , and Best Buy (partially), and can be found on Amazon for quite the mark-up—there’s no way I’m paying $370 for the 120GB SKU. Did the Sony factory lose power or something, or is Final Fantasy XIII that big of a system-seller?
