Will you be forced to admit that Sony reserved units this week to have the most stock possible for Black Friday if it becomes true??

why would they hold stock?  whats the point?  I see no advantage... none. 

I explain then...

Suppose you have 1 million in stock, only for 2 weeks, being the last one BF week. If you split that in equal numbers you sell 500k one week and 500k the other one. Now, imagine Microsoft can put 500-600k units in NA for BF minimum. If you were Sony, would you risk losing BF sales or you prefer to sacrifice the first week, one that no one cares except us here, to have a complete million just for BF to trounce your adversary??? That's my point.

And i'm not saying sony will sell 1 million nor Xbox One will sell 500-600k, it was just examples...

How would Sony force a company to hold the PS4 and not sell it? I know some stores held on to some of their stock to entice people to shop there during Black Friday. It gives them a chance to draw in more customers and possible pick up additional sales. This likely happened with the Xbox One and the PS4. To say Sony forced them to do it sounds ludicrous. Most of the consoles produced will be sold around this time, there is no reason for either MS or Sony to have retailers hold back stock.
