I think too.
Supply could be totally different than in past generations. Much more than we are used to and much more we can imagine.
We have been surprised in the past by paradigm change that took everyone by surprise.
You remember in the past where it was a common belief that mass market price for a console was $200? That paradigm totally changed in current gen.
In the past people couldn't imagine a hardware addon could sell in the 10s of millions. People predicted 1 or maximum 2 million for Kinect in its first Holiday back in 2010, and bam, it shipped 8 million (and sold 7 million).
In the past the experts argued that a console doesn't need a lot of RAM, that the PS4 would probably have 2GB or maximum 4GB if you really stretched the imagination. But here we are with 8GB.
At their peak the PS3 and X360 sold 6-7 million in just one Holiday season (Nov + Dec), so the demand is certainly there.
