If it was as easy as you put it, neither the XSS nor the PS5 would have stock issues at the moment since they both had 7 weeks to gauge the demand.

I said it was easy? And will ignore that platform holders love to say they are sold out on launch? As long as you are nearly meeting demand while keeping sold out you are at a very good PR position without leaving to much revenue not received.

I don't think either MS or Sony would be happy selling fewer units just so they could say that they were sold out. At the end of the day, "we sold 2m units at launch" sounds much better than "we were sold out," and it is much more profitable.

Guess you didn't got my point, it isn't substantially sold out. It is like instead of selling 2M and being sold out, selling 2.1M and not being sold out.
