What? You know they are releasing Galaxy and Smash later this year and that + the holidays is going to have even MORE people out to find the console. Why are you acting like holding back some units to try and satisfy that deman then rather than spreading those units out across the year is any worse? I really dont understand what your point is. In the end they are stil going to have those same number of units in retail this year, why is it "bad for the consumer" if they decide to release a bulk of that years allocation during the time where the demand will be at its peak?
Your gonna have to explain that one. It would only make sense if they were hording the consoles with no intent to release them, THAT would be screwing over the customers. But thats not the case, they are holding the consoles with full intent to release them, just during the peak of demand.
