All II read from what you said is that Sony is better at managing their stock. Thanks. And when USA and Japan doesn't receive the same as Europe, so it isn't so split between 3, but more like it is selling heavily on 2 and something on the others.

Uhh...what? 

Got to be honest Don, this is a very odd reply. Not only was I not talking to you, but you turn a comment saying factual reasoning ... and all you got from it was something to reinforce a positive sentiment about Sony? Ok .... that sounds very, very fanboyish and it's just odd because it's not a cock fight competition. Nobody was saying any company was worse or better, it was just a comment explaining why the Switch doesn't specialize in one specific area.

Also, I literally said that not as much Switch's are going to Europe as in Japan or America. I've said this time and time again. Don't know why you felt the need to correct what didn't need correction. I would guess that 7 months in, more Switch supply is being given to Europe(the 3rd most important region) than Japan was getting PS4 supply, but that's just speculation and besides the point.

It really depends on what you mean by "Sony is better at managing their stock." If you mean managing their existing stock, then I don't agree. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with focusing on two regions and Europe, there's no point taking resources from one major region just for the sake of getting better sales in one region to make forum users happier. If you mean having *more stock* then ... yeah? Lol

If one use an argument that PS4 only was ahead because it had more stock available than that just shows either Nintendo was bad at managing the stock or Sony was better at it. I preferred no to put Nintendo on the bad side of it.

Nope I was just showing that it is much more separated in 2 regions than 3, but that isn't really relevant =]

Managing stock in this case is reading demand and producing and shifting that to stores. Nintendo being sold out in all regions makes the distribution of that shipment kinda irrelevant (it would be relevant only if they had too much in one area and shortages in another, Sony needed some time for the adjustments of shipment distribution on the release months of PS4).
