This is a funny flashback post. What the OP didn't realize is that focusing on too few territories at once can over-saturate markets. That is exactly what happened, and one of the reasons that the Xbox Ones sales dropped off a cliff. However Sony created a situation in MORE territories where people were climbing over each other to the consoles due to insanely high demand. |
Well, the One's problem wasn't excess supply. It was low demand after the initial few weeks. What MS should have done was take all those unsold XBO's in EU and spread them out to other regions. It would have helped their weekly sales a little, plus make it so they didn't have to announce they were slowing down production so retailers could sell the 100Ks of unsold XBOs. That announcement made their situation look worse.

It was clearly both.

Nah. Never has too much stock resulted in lower sales. The only way that would have any affect is if there is a pallet of Ones sitting in a store for a month or more that haven't sold, which may tell people that that product is undesirable. However, that wouldn't happen, as no store would keep said pallet out for more than a week or two. Also, the lower demand would be the reason there would even be a pallet of Ones after a few weeks. So, lower demand is the reason for lower sales, which therefore lead to many unsold Ones.
