No new supply until March is bad news for gamers who want to become early adopters of the PS4. In 4 months time we will see more games become available for the PS4. Early adopters of a new console are usually the most devoted fans and people with lots of money to throw down on the latest toy.
Missing out on sales by not having enough stock to meet demand.
Artificially increasing demand for a product by running a limited supply.
The risk of not having enough stock is that Sony's competitors Wii U and XBox One will be picked up by parents for their children for Xmas instead. The 7th generation systems at cheaper price points will be bought instead by low to middle income families.
