Bro if that shit failed to perform then it's on them for failing to manufacture enough. The demand was there. And it out performed the Xbox whateverthefucknow.

Wasn't the reason they couldn't produce more because of the semiconductor shortage?

Partly, but scalpers buying up what inventory there was for reselling was absolutely rampant as well

Yeah, but then they still sold the unit. How would that hurt their sales numbers?

Scalpers were holding a lot of them and raised the prices so ppl gave up and got another console or a PC altogether. This may not be majority but definitely a singinificant difference and just 1 example for that.

Yup. Sales numbers good, but brand loyalty down which isn't good for future sales
