It's not a fact actually. All they'd do is spread their X1 production across a bigger market. That wouldn't increase the ammount of consoles sold, it would just be the same amount of consoles sold in more countries. IF they had eventually released in as many countries as Sony by now, it's likely that they would have sold less than they have already. Why? Because they released in their strongest counties and any consoles that shipped to their weaker markets would still be sat their on the shelves. Yes, we're already seeing that but it would have been much worse. On the other hand, Sony are selling out in every single region they release in. As the PS4 comes in it immediately goes out again while the X1 sits there waiting to be bought. Eventually we have a certain amount of parity because obviously Sony can't restock immediately but considering the gap already I'd summise that Sony can produce more consoles a week than MS. If not then the only other conclusion is that MS are already working to a projected average, which isn't a good sign. Stuffing the channels might give you a breather and enable you to ballpark a number like 3 million to appease your shareholders and appear strong to the consumers and media, but eventually it's a strategy that only ends up making them look as if they've lied.
The PS5 Exists.
