I have went to several online sites such as amazon and the likes and they are totally out of stock on both.

I fail to understand why both companies would be so unprepared.
I am not getting one yet btw I was just curious.
Is it possible that they could be that stupid?
I mean one could say this is clever marketing by creating false demand but even that doesn't hold up in the real world.

Just thought I would put it out there as I am sure there are heads that visit the site who would know how this works.
I just find it totally bemusing tbh as they both knew the xmas market was upon us.

So stupidity or false shortage to create demand?
Your thoughts maybe.

You do realize these have to be physically made right?  They aren't just wished into existance.  If Sony could have had 10 million ready, they would have.  But newsflash it takes time to make 10 million consoles!  Are you suggesting they should have just let most of them collect dust so everyone gets them at the same time?  

No they had to launch in time to blitz MS, and they clearly have.
