I dont want to be that guy but Scalpers also have a major part in this story unfortantly. Same thing happen with the Nvidia 30 Series.

You're reading into something that is not there. If I were upset I'd be cursing in a string of curses. Literally just sitting back watching Robotech while heavily medicated half awake.

Would the "heavily medicated half awake" be the reason you didn't answer my question?

Let me ask it again. You've complained" but your topic title and opening post don't correspond" twice. How do they not relate?

It is pretty clear what he misread.

Biggest as in physical size of the console.

Well it was to be expected.

The perfect storm, COVID-19 and people being stuck at home has sent the world bonkers in everything.

Go look at trading card sales compared to the year before.

People are trying to find new ways to be entertained.

So the tourism and hospitality may be suffering, but collectables and entertainment is up. Great time to be a collector lol.

Are you sure you don't want to be that guy? Pretty sure you do, as you did, as always.

Someone has to mention it. As they say, don't hate the messenger.

Do i want to be that guy? Not as much as you want to be that guy, Mr.

Have a good read, this is just one of them. Its happening world wide.

Considering in the pandemic most people will keep on buying or preordering online, patiently waiting for their console to become available and shipped home or to the store they chose, many scalpers could have a nasty (and totally deserved) surprise this time.

And you think it wouldn't be sold out if scalpers weren't there? If you do, then you must think scalpers wouldn't be able to make a profit right?

I guess you skipped the point he wanted to make. It was that since the stock is the constrain with or without Japan and 1 or 2 weeks apart for Europe, then those are kinda irrelevant to discuss how big of a launch it was. It really was just as big as inventory was available, if they didn't launch in Japan and USA and put all the inventory in Europe it would probably had sold out same way.

*facepalm* Oh. My bad. I get it now. Basically, just the same 2M+ stock allotment for the first two weeks, just spread across multiple regions?

Yep. Your point have a lot of merit for perhaps after 6 month analysis, but for launch well it doesn't make much difference.
