no it doesnt. It only works if theyre selling 150% of the 360's sales. Selling less than the 360 or maybe 5 or 10 thousand more with not enough stock would create enormous negative press due to horrible manufacturing and demand expectations. |
Exactly. There's no positive angle to the story for SCE if they still miss their annual projection by a great deal because they weren't even capable of producing the number of consoles they projected they would sell.
Does anyone have any idea how bad that would look?
Your company announces they plan to sell 10 million units by year's end for example, but they only have 5 million available to sell. The investor question at that point becomes "what the hell happened?"
Undershipping inventory to increase an artificial demand would not be a sound strategy unless that undershipped inventory both met their annual projections, outperformed YoY totals and decisively outsold the competition.
Someone feel free to tell me how that's supposed to happen if SCE decides it's "wise" to simply hoard stock in a warehouse for the holidays.
