Is Sony undershipping Move keeping it in low supply, or is MS overshipping Kinect to make sure it stays in supply? I just through Kinect would be sold out considering it was less than 10 days from launch when I went looking for them

Companies does not overship. They dont ship more then what is order, never.

I spik engrish?

 

I understand that in order for a company like MS or Sony to ship, the retailer has to actually order them. But when Walmart orders 50 Kinect sensors and Sony ships them knowing Walmart will probably only need 20 for that day, they are overhshipping consumer demand regardless. 

 

Undershipping on the other hand is possibly at the fault of the company. If walmart orders 50 more Move controllers and Sony can't keep up with demand, they are undershipping.

Regardless of the numbers, I don't think SONY under ships on purpose.  Yes, they are under shipping, but I think it's because they underestimated demand.  Because SONY is finally getting into better financial status and the PS3 sells the least in the Americas, I think they have to be a little more cautious when distributing Moves in the Americas.
