I don't understand what you are saying though. So my answer to you may not touch on what you mean.
But my point is that they didn't have 4M at launch. No condole launch ever has. EVER. it has NEVER happened.
I would have thought this concept is easy to understand.
The holiday window lasts 2 MONTHS. More like 6-7 weeks in reality. If you are supply constrained 3-4 months after launch, meaning you are pretty much selling every console you make. And in those 3-4 months you only managed to ship/sell 4.7M consoles; then it means your manufacturing prowess for whatever reason was not such that you could make those consoles faster. You were doing the best you could to meet demand.
How does anyone expect a company that hasn't been able to met demand fully almost 8 months after launch, to somehow make enough consoles to have a better launch during a 6 week window?
And I ask again, can anyone show me a console in the last 30 years that had up to 4M consoles available in its launch week? Even the PS2 didn't have that. Speaking of the PS2... that too launched in march.... in just one territory.
