PS4 also had 2.9 million unsold units in the hands of retailers at the end of December. Is your explanation that Sony oversupplied other retailers while leaving Amazon short on stock?

I think the 2.9M figure comes from last fj. This year it was something like 1.9M end of calendar year.

Sony did not oversupply customers (of which Amazon is just one of many) this holiday season. It seems they are on the way to almost deplete retailer stock by end of this fj. This is the reason why they did not have any December fire sales - otherwise they would actually have depleted stock in the retail channel by now. And it also is not bad if you can make money on hardware with regular pricing.

I agree 100% and don't think Sony properly forecasted the success of the November $199 price drop or the lack of success of SW:TLJ and the PS4P bundle.

Do you have any data on PS4P, because that looks like it's not having supply issues?
