Yeah, people like MS and SEGA are confusing supply with demand.
Just because supply out strips demand by a huge factor, does not make the
launch a failure.
How can 5 million units already shipped, 500,000 being shipped on the 24th
acrosee europe (mine is one of them!) and 500,000 a month in the US be
called a 'difficulty' - Nice problem to have!
