I posted this in another thread but I think this might help to explain MS's supply problems.

No it doesn't, and it doesn't make any sense. You know that just by Dec NPD that consumer demand isn't drying up, so stop shoving this link down our throats in every sales related thread.

Look at the article, it was posted back in September. And this is only the second thread I've posted it in. Consumer demand wasn't 'drying up' back in September, it just wasn't as high as MS originally projected back before the launch of the slim. And I would assume they adjusted their forecast for the holidays and quarter 1 as a consequence of that.
