The scale of the launches was unprecedented. 2.1m PS4's? It's the biggest launch we've ever seen for a console and its happening alongside a massive launch for the Xbox One as well.

I'm sure both companies are doing all they can to get as many units out into consumers hands as possible and build a strong early install base, but consider the logistics of moving millions of units from factory to retail. I'd imagine it involves an incredible amount of planning and resource management and also a lot of costs. then you have to factor in all the components needed to assemble the products etc.
