well, I think he is talking about shipments. So if they ship normally 20k, now it would be like 80k, and all is sold out at the stores :)

How can they possibly ship 20k a week "normally" when they only sold like 5-10k units per week for about a year?

It's like they had a price cut coming and we're stockpiling retailers with units. There are also 2 different models in 4 different colors and you have to have stock of each one. We know this didn't happen entirely because there was several sellouts. In all liklihood, the only data Sony could have at this short notice is just retailers requesting more units. Nothing to really derive a whole lot from.

Bottom line is we don't know what number he derived his increase from, so let's wait for wednesday.

Agreed. We can't really draw anything from this, but they'd have to say something if only for PR reasons.
