Good sign.

But i believe, sony tries to pull a Wii somehow. U know the
"Demand is so high, we cant keep up with shipping"- interest creation tactics.

Or it just sells like hotcakes...

I don't get why people have this idea that Nintendo created shortages on purpose. They increased Wii production very quickly, from 1 million in the beginning, then to 1.8 million and then to 2.4 million per month. As far as I know that's the highest production speed any console has ever had.

It's not that simple to increase production quickly... you need to make new contracts with each and every single supplier, and it takes time for all the suppliers to shift their production to Nintendo.

I didnt know that, thanks for the info. Whether it was on purpose or not, it really helped to hype the Wii.

I guess i thought of it because by that time i read tons of articles about Wii shortages and next to my place there were plenty left... probably the diff between Europe and Usa.

OT: it wouldnt suprise me if sony tries to do it, on purpose, at least at the begining.
