Correct - Nintendo & Sony do the same thing.  Companies try to ship slightly more than needed so the product doesn't run out. 

Think about it - over my figure of 30,000+ individual stores that sell videogame worldwide, for a period of 85 weeks shipping 1.45 million more than what has been sold is not that bad.

1.45 million extra/(30,000)(85) amounts to (on average) ~.568 extra Xbox 360s sitting on a store shelf for each week over estimated amount of stores.



People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.

When there are more laws, there are more criminals.
