They are also DOWN 250K from last year, despite being $199.. they are undershipping, so are SONY, they sold over a million PS3's last month, and they couldnt do 300k? Both consoles are completely sold out world wide, so yes they are similar. Both manufactures aren't shipping enough consoles to meet demand. |
They may have airshipped January's stock for Christmas, resulting in the shortages we have now. That's usually why there are shortages after the holidays (for any console), it'll balance out soon enough.
For people questioning the supply issue, don't bother. The Wii is still sold out online. See Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, etc. Even the Walmart bundles are out (I know those were availible earlier, but...).
