So because sales were higher months before, MS had shortages in January and February when, compared to everyone else, they were selling pathetic numbers of their consoles?
This makes no sense.
No, the Nintendo "excuse" for lower supply in January was that the supply chain is 2-4 weeks long and Nintendo bypassed it by air freighting units for the holidays. That affected January sales to an extent (there were fewer units in the supply chain), but there's no way in hell it would affect Feb sales.
Supply chains can make reactions take a while -- maybe 2 or 3 or even 4 weeks, but there's no feasible reason that a company with warehouses full of units would have their supply dry 6 and 7 weeks after they hit peak demand.
Part of the thing that makes this suspicious is that Xbox 360 sales are *so very low* world wide. It does well during the holiday season and that's it. So how *can't* you keep up with these terrible sales, especially if you aren't the least bit concerned about getting a console out there that will last 12 months.
