Do you have Wii & 360 max production numbers?
Also, cool graph with all the talk of overshipping it would be great to see one for the X1, but i guess their isnt enough sold through data available to do it.
Sorry, don't have data for the Wii or 360 production.
I do, but I suppose without know manufacturing numbers, or more recent sell in numbers, its difficult to comment either way on how close the recent actual sell in and sell through #s are.
The PS4 can be bought in any shop fairly easily, it's not like H1 2014 where the PS4 was hard to find in stores.
It's not like PS1 in 1996 where Sony lost over 100k sales in Europe due to lack of stock. PS1 production figures were gradually increased from 700k a month to 1000k a month and then 1300k a month all in 1 year due to huge increases in demand.
Sony have been very good in supplying for the demand that is there with PS4. Look at the Wii for example, the Wii did not even need to drop its price because up until the end of 2008 the Wii sold everything it shipped and Nintendo were struggling to meet demand. The PS4 has been able to keep up with demand and whilst it is selling everything it has shipped its managed to maintain stock levels worldwide at a healthy amount.
I'm not saying PS4 isn't selling, I'm saying that its not in a situation where there is more demand than supply, Sony are passed that point now.
The point overall is that the PS4 is in a position right now where a price drop can make sense, it doesn't need to be $100 or even $50, it may be lower, but Sony are in a good position to do it this fiscal year.
