Clearly they do. The PS4 is able to sell twice to 3 times as many units per week, Nintendo isnt able to produce a 3rd of what Sony can on a regular basis? I dont see PS4 units being sold out everywhere which means they are producing even more than what they are selling. They are either creating the shortage on purpose or thought the console would flop and only invested enough to make a small ROI. They should be able to crank out 2-300K units per week by now. |
They expected it to sell 10m first year, which it would (will) regardless of stock issues... that's not "flopping", especially for a console's first year, which is usually a slow one. But yes, they admited they underestimated demand and tried everything they could to get things sorted out. Even paid more to ship extra units faster via airplanes.
By the way, you're looking at global pre-Splatoon numbers on VGC front page. It's known that they started shipping more after Splatoon, and especially in August, so as soon ad VGC uptades those numbers, they will start to look better. Even then, they still have to meet demand, but they have promised to start shipping more this fall, so things might get even better.
Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
