That only applies to MS. Sony had software ready for launch, as well as a jam packed 2021, and had shipped enough PS5's to break the PS4's launch record in many regions. 

That applies to both, the software is not the problem here, its the supply.

That sounds like another Microsoft issue to me. The PS5 is sold in more countries than the Series X, but the PS5 will likely sell 1.0 - 1.5+ Million more consoles than the PS4 when comparing their holiday launches, breaking all sorts of launch records worldwide, while the Series X can't even beat the XOne launch in NA. 

The PS5 would still be supply constrained if it launched in March and most likely be sold in even more countries like India simultaneously.
