So still no actual numbers on how much it sold and ps move still outselling it on amazon, something tells me neither supply nor demand is as wide spread as MS would have us believe 


It hasn't even released yet. As far as I know amazon is sold out of pre orders so no one can buy it there any more. Could be wrong on the amazon part.

how the hell can you be sold out on preorders, preorders are what companies use to judge how many to ship, unless theres serious shortage of them being made I don't see how thats possible, so the sold out is definitely on the supply end of the chain 


Do you understand how production and distribution work? Or what exactly are you trying to say? That they should be able to meet all demand day one?

A multi billion dollar company with hundreds of factories, yep unless the demand is ridiculasly high(several million for day one, which obviously isn't the case), so the problem is on the supply end, either MS is with holding them or their launching it before their ready again and kinect's failrate is going to end up being similar to the 360s at launch 

How many factories does MS own? 100's? I think they actually own none ( I could be wrong). They more likely contract out their hardware work. From your post it just seems you really do not understand production and distribution and I don't have the time to make a post explaining it. Maybe someone else does. But you need to look at how companies actually get things produced. Most compaiones do not own their own factories but lease or contract factories out on an as needed basis, usually said factories are located in China.
