Good point. I would argue that while momentum is a measure of demand, a certain amount of demand(and along with it, momentum) can be at least influenced, or potentially, redirected, assuming adequate supply is delayed, and thus my thread. To give a relevant example, pent up demand might be redirected to a sexier than ever competitor, due to lack of adequate supply over long time periods. I think we all realize this is at least possible, and in many cases very probable, and rarely inevitable.
In this particular instance, I'm implying that conditions are good for people who are unable to find supply of the PS3(because it's out of stock), to redirect their demand to the competition which has a potentially hot lineup this year, itself. We've seen a small example of that very thing in January NPD, imo, and I am implying that if conditions continue to worsten for PS3 supply, that trend might continue, and thus, demand ratio between the PS3 and 360 would become closer, meaning the momentum advantage of the PS3 might also lower.
