I find all this talk about supply constraints silly.

That's like making an argument saying "if only console XYZ was priced at $150 it would have sold x million more units".

At the end of the day, consoles ship what they ship and they will sell what they sell. Its why I always say that looking at launch windows isn't necessarily indicative of how a platform will perform. Just look at the current-gen. Under2 months after launch the PS4 had sold around 4.1M units and the XB1 had sold around 3.9M. Would anyone have thought then that 7 years later the PS4 would have an almost 3:1 lead over the XB1?

Or look at the PS5. At a $399 - $499 price point, there are at least 10M people around the world that will be ready/willing to pick one up if sony can ship 10M units on launch day. Doesn't mean that after those initial sales it would also end up selling 120M after 7 years.
