I see we are still entertaining the possibility that this is a sucess. I don't mind waiting another year for it to sink in.

Beeing sold out doesn't mean that there is alot of unmet demand. Much like what Nintendo often does with their amiibo and special editions. If there were lots of pending pre-orders, retailers would've placed bigger orders and Sony would've produced more.

I don't see the buzz of unmet demand that happened with the PS4 and it's big numbers. People aren't talking about how awesome this is all over the internet or how you must have this. Sony is already telling us how they want to incorporate this in more mediums to increase demand. But hey... i bet i get flamed like usual for saying these obvious things that end up beeing true.

You don't see a lot of things. For example that VR is a growing market at its beginning, and that consoles 30+ years ago didnt have these kind of big numbers either.

And i bet you will continue spreading your "wisdom". Like..

 

"Sony is already telling us how they want to incorporate this in more mediums to increase demand. "

Ya, to increase demand. Naturally. This is what companies want, that is what they do. Advertisment, marketing, ever heard of those? Despite running the risk to blow your socks of and turn your world upside down, i'm telling you, Sony isn't the only company with this habit.

Pretty much the kind of reaction i expected.

Unfortunely i am usually right. Wether it's beneficial to me or not.

And i do know Marketing and Advertisment very well as i am a professional of the field. And you know what... their point is not to create demand. Marketing atempts to satisfy the needs of consumers. It doesn't create them. Advertisement atempts to wake up the desire to satisfy those needs.

So, no you didnt blow my socks. I know you are one of those guys that wants this to work. Fair enough. Good luck.
