If Nintendo believed in their own system at release, and ordered a buttload of all the components they wouldnt be in this spot. Its because they played it too safe, assumeing getting shipments of these components wouldnt be a issue. Now its looking like they will be limited in product for a year. The other alternative was to plan this stuff out in advance, and make use of components others dont (in the design phase). |
Didn't PS4 only ship 2 mil in its first month, too? And Sony were surprised by it's early success. And I think Nintendo realized how weak their product library was. Honestly saying Nintendo just needed to "believe" more is easy to do in hindsight, but a little over 2 mil in the first month seems like a good safe number. I think the fact that Nintendo is having trouble catching up is the real frustration.
