They interviewed a Sony, MS and Nintendo person and in addition to the insights on sales numbers (beautifully broken down by the good members of VGC above), they bring up some interesting points from the 3 "constructors". Don't have the time or the courage to summarize but for example, the Nintendo guy insisted a lot on the fact the Nintendo is going to work on the "hardcore" gamer, Sony guy discussed, among many other things, price strategy (and was his regret for the year 2008 even, though does not hint at all at a price cut) and MS guy even stated that if not for shortages (was the 360 supply constrained?), they could have easily sold 100k+ extra consoles this year. Good read altogether with no much stabbing each other or spinning. |
In France, shortages between midlle march to middle july. Really, it's at this time that they could have lost their 100.000 units.
