I'd say Nintendo is just an inferior manufacturer period. They are not a manufacturing company, they're a gaming company. Thus why they are not able to build enough consoles to meet demand, even though the technology is cheaper and older and should be available to produce easily.
If you really want to get down to it, what Sony did with manufacturing as many consoles as quickly as they have is very impressive. They did something that Microsoft couldn't, and with more advanced and more expensive technology.
Microsoft wasn't even able to send more than 200k a month to the US until May about 6 months after launch, Sony did more than that in the second month of launch.
You don't need to even bring sales into this if you want to discuss them as manufacturers.
So they're an inferior company because they're not able to provide more than 1,000,000 units per month and Sony is a great company because they can build up a stock pile when they are only selling 250,000 units per month ...
Nice
