Well that sucks, they were perfectly paired with the cheese.

I mean, we all saw that both Sony and MS completely abandoned Japan during the Nov-Dic period; and I don't remember who, but someone said that the distribution lines were also messed up due to the pandemic, so I think it is not too far fetched to think that they might be alternating their shipments between the different regions.

I think the employee meant “shipments suspended”. Look at how far VGC adjusted down PS5’s Europe numbers

Anyone thinking there might have been a grain of truth in this? Certainly the spanish PS5 numbers lately have been very low so it might be that Sony has diverted consoles from Europe to the US as they feel that is the more important battleground.

0 truth. They're not made in Europe.

Likely just a poor translation of the "2 million for the quarter due to chip shortages" infromation we've been hearing from other sources.

In no universe can I imagine MS prioritizing Japan over Europe, and Chinese consumers are not big console gamers. They're fuckin' with ya.
