Ugh, MS should really know how to judge demand by now, shortages is not a good enough excuse.

No offense to you, but I think microsoft themselves didn't see this high of a demand seece. Don't you remember them thinking kinect would only sell 3 million?

So they say? Maybe cynical of me but I think they realised 3 mill was too low.

They were banking on Kinect being the next big thing (could well be by looks of things) so should have estimated better.

I agree. Microsoft put a lot of effort into Kinect's launch and banked on it being a big time success, they should have estimated more consoles being sold, especially when they raised the initial 3M projection to 5M.
