Did read that right? Japan, US and Europe to get just 2 million for
launch???
Let me see. THe PS2 sold 1 million in the first weekend in Japan, and
stock was short for a long time to come.
The PS2 sold half a million in the USA in a day.
THe same was true of the PS2 in Europe, give or take.
THe market for videogames has substantially grown in the intervening 5
years.
Anyone who thinks they have a reasonable chance of getting one is going
to have to camp out for a month before the release.
Oh, and 2 million more by year-end? That's scraps. Japan could easily
take all that up on it's own.
Maybe they are hoping the price will put people off enough to make this
seem plentiful?
Hell, Microsoft sold close to 1.5 million with limited supplies, and
hardly any japanese market, for the 360 in the same period last year!
Oh. Dear. |

That's no problem, only a handful of people can afford to buy one anyway. |

Didn't MS sell like 1.5 million X360 between Thanksgiving and the end of
2005?
Sony claims they will have 2 million at launch and 2 million more over
the next 5-6 weeks to reach 4 million by the end of 2006.
Still there will be shortages and if there are any production problems,
it will be scarce. >> Stay informed about: Only 2 PS3s million for launch???? |

The difference is that the PS3 is double the price. 2 million to start
might be about 500,000 to a million too many.
