If this PS3 "shortage" is truly real than Sony f-ed up big time. It isnt like the sales from the holidays was so outrageous that Sony couldnt manufacture enought. Likely that many of the sales they may have gotten that they didnt because of the so called shortage will never get back. Truly dumb, dumb, dumb move by Sony to scale back production.

well, you can see it at 2 levels :

- Sony didnt manufacture enought because they dont want to lose too much per console so they are trying to save some money (in a way) by selling less console at loss

- Retailers (US ones) didnt bet on the PS3 success and were surprised that the PS3 was selling so good so they didnt order enought console to Sony

Well we know that the retailers did order the PS3 based on the results Sony released last week (or was it the week before). Remember Sony changed the numbers to reflect hardware orders not actuall shipped units.
