NPD Analyst Mat Piscatella stated: "But yeah, no one saw this PS4 success happening this year, not even Sony."
Do you think this means that their 17 million forecast is still undercutting what the results will be and by how much?
Also, is it possible that Sony's failure to properly gauge sales will result in massive shortages?

Sony knows their limitations, that's why they can't lower the price of the PS4 worldwide.  They know that they would not meet demand, at all.  Japan wouldn't care but Sony' hasn't been focused there, everywhere else in the world though, it would sell out almost instantaneously.

Cleaver analysis.  Basically you are saying that Sony has to keep the price up because it can't meet demand.  Mat suggests that the amount of units sold will already be equal to the amount of stock.  They are already going to be in the whole with no stock.  Lowering the price worldwide would make the supplying the PS4 completely unsustainable.
