Is Sony failing to capitalize? A question of momentum.

I don't really see the need for a thread like this TBH. I see no evidence they have really lost momentum yet and I don't see any evidence that Microsoft has gained any real momentum with  the Xbox 360 since the start of the year. Things are as they were this time last year with the positions in reverse.

Wait, so you didn't see the article I posted where the director of corporate communications directly implied that stock shortages were to blame for loss of sales, and will continue to be over the next few months, because I posted it in the article, and it's clear as day. There is even a link.

As far as you deductions from looking at numbers and trying to judge for yourself which way momentum is swinging, that is just your opinion, isn't it?

I'm fairly certain that many would consider stock shortages a reason for a company to sell less consoles. Wouldn't you? I think it is also reasonable that people who can't find a product might on occasion, buy from a competitor. Furthermore, I think a ton of people on this site would probably agree that Sony has(or had) more momentum very recently than they ever had, and that a reasonable person might conclude that said shortages might indeed effect said momentum?

Is that a satisfactory explination?

Because I think I mentioned all that in the OP.
