I don't understand this argument. Sony don't manufacture their PS3s based on the fact that Nintendo manufacture 4 million Wiis, they manufacture based on how many they sell. If the amount that they sell is above that what they have predicted to sell, then of course they won't have enough.
Increasing production is both costly and risky, it also isn't instantaneous (I know this from experience, that the tooling of hardware to produce components isn't an over-night job) - it's perfectly reasonable to expect that production increases will take a while.
