?? are you suggesting the number of countries has something to do with the number of consoles being produced??  that doesn't make any sense.  You don't ship a fixed variable of a console to each country.  The amount of countries the system is available in has abosutely nothing to do with supply.  

The reason microsoft is launching in fewer countries has to do with xbox live and kinect speech support, has nothing to do with production supply.  The countries the x1 is launching in will actually get bigger shipments than the ps4 initially if they are matched in production ability, of course, almost all of the launch supply of both consoles will be coming to north america...

Im suggesting that at this time for every XBO being shipped there is 2-3 PS4's being shipped. If both were to sell out (which they will) that still leaves it at XBO=1 and PS4=2-3. We already know the Preorders are skewed this way with most places offering twice as many preorders for PS4 than XBO. My store personally has 40+ preorders on PS4 while 12XBO preorders and this is pretty much a company wide thing. We have been told to expect similar shipments of both after launch. If Demand is at maximum for the holidays with them constantly selling out, how can XBO possibly be "just about even" with PS4?

well, that is a much better argument that the number companies times a fixed variable  Not sure why you even went that route...  Anyway, if what you say holds than obviously the ps4 will sell more.  It is one of those have to wait and see kind of things though...  You would think that these professional analysts would have more information on production abilities then you are me, but I guess they could be wrong...

It depends on where the analysts is geared for. They are most often just Yes men who tell the comapanies they work for what they want to hear. I did read some analyst report that he expected XBO to outsell PS4 this holiday season. Why? because XBO became higher on Amazon's top seller listings. What he omitted was that there are multiple PS4 skus flooding the top listings so if you add them up they would assuredly decimate XBO numbers without question.

Being able to read between the lines(AKA bullshit) helps.
