I don't think undershipping is the same thing as beating expectations. Then again, in a twisted sense of it all it kinda is. 

I don't understand. Why it's twisted? Isn't shortages a sign that a product is beating expectations? Or did Sony copy Nintendo's playbook and undership on purpose while knowing Pro would sell more?

anyways...there's definitely some smoke in the air, many people from different countries are reporting shortages on different forums, this is not some GAF only thing and many online retailers around Europe are out of stock.

I think it's possible holidays catched Sony off guard and supply should normalize in few weeks.

Not saying you are wrong. But deosnt mean you are right either.

 

If Sony could only start making PS4pros in late September or early October then it could mean they simply couldn't make enough of them. 

 

If they know that they shipped 1M PS4s before but make only 300k PS4pros then the issue isn't one of exceeding expectations. It's one of Sony not shipping enough of a product to meet demand. 

 

It sounds similar, but they are different things.
