Did PS3 have supply constraints? Can't remember back that far but I don't think it did for it's Japanese launch. Never knew the actual figures, so low.


Not really so far I remember.

Actually, they did have some supply issues at launch

Sony was also supposed to launch PS3 5-6 months earlier then it did as it was initially suppose to launch in spring 2006 but due to a shortage in the blue diode laser production (Blu-ray) it was pushed back to Nov and still had supply issues.

Oh yeah the delay I remember but shortages I can't,... oh well =p.
