I'd love to know what's the excuse for only shipping 5K consoles (if it's true)... Couldn't they do a decent shipment so that it wouldn't sell out?

It's not like it would be a big risk, in the worst case they just wait a few weeks/months to do the next shipment!

Why ship more then 5K when you hadn't had sales of 5K in nearly a half year?  And selling out is good publicity in the short term. 

 Most people will never hear how many were actually shipped so it generates the "gee, maybe I should get one since everyone is buying one" feeling...

Not an excuse... Just a good marketing move...
