Agreed. They must have enough to ship ~3-4 mil more in the following weeks, so I doubt there's going to be a great shortage. Plus, something tells me they aren't going to reach the 5 mil mark by the end of this year. To do so, they would have to sell ~ 900K units every 10 days for rest of the year. While I think demand for Kinect is going to be high this holiday season, I don't think it will be that high. Especially with its first week being more weighted with pre-orders. But, we shall see.
Oh and as far as this goes: "Mattrick went on to claim that he wasn't just cynically trying to spike sales with his prediction." I think that's exactly what he was trying to do.
