I merely said it is a feat to ship 5.5 million units, because the PS3 is a beast of a system and Sony manufacturing really got their act together in calendar Q1, unlike Nintendo. And I've also read Nintendo's statement "actually we planned to reach out to new distribution channels thse days, but we still have trouble delivering to the existing ones" (paraphrasing) and you have to commend Sony for having delivered everything the channel partners wanted. That is more a mark of the Wii's unexpected popularity than a fault of Nintendo. Nintendo is shipping more Wii's than the PS3, has shipped far more than the PS3 and has still sold out. As far as I know Nintendo have met every shipping target that they had set, its merely that Nintendo themselves werent expecting this much demand for their console. The fact is Sony is the company that has been hardest hit by delays this generation, their original targets for shipping were far higher and they have merely been revised. I think this was largely down to manufacturing problems concerning the blu-ray player.
