No, Brian (B), I have to agree with Brian (A). You have to keep one thing in mind: Nintendo's Wii shortages are mostly legitimate examples of demand exceeding supply. With Sony (and the 360 last year), supply is kept intentionally low to artificially increase demand. It worked wonders with the PS2 and the 360. You never found either machine in-stock in a retail store in the first six months of existence. Yet, the PS3 supply is less than half what the PS3 offered, and you have a decent chance before Christmas to find them in a Wal-Mart or Target.
The only way the news could be worse would be if none of them sold at all. Having unsold inventory of an item that before Christmas is certainly worthy of being called a disaster.
