MS wants to own the living room and now even Nintendo is getting in on that action. MS needs to launch in 2013 even if they have shortages. The Xbox 360 had shortages and it worked out just fine. Nothing is going to stop MS from trying to control the living room and Sony knows they have to be there with them. |
360 had shortages and was fine because they were all alone for a year so people had nowhere to go, and Wii also had shortages at various times. And PS3 lagged for so long that 360 shortages didn't drive people to PS3, at least not until the 2009 PS3 revival.
Things are gonna be much tighter this time round, with Wii U being first to market and PS4 probably not priocing itself out of contention. If neither Wii U or PS4 have shortages and Nextbox does then that will have a bigger effect on Nextbox than any of the 360 periods of short supply.
