Unless you are privy to their production capacities, that's a pretty big assumption to make.
Are you provy to their production capacities? If so, by all means, share!
As for the assumption, what is a biggest assumption:
A.) They have been supply limited for 9 months and their monthly units is slowly creeping upwards or
B.) The supply issues and news is all fabricated, the creeping increases in production are an intended slight of hand, and they have been holding back units for 9 months for a surprising 1 year later blast of units.
I guess my assumption is big, and the alternative assumption even a bigger one. I can live with that. It could happen, but it begs the question: when did Nintendo start holding back units? Were they that confident in sales? And are shortages an intentional PR move to further drive demand?
I agree that the GCN+ should be easier to produce, but major shortages in the first 3-4 months indicate there are real production issues. And while possible, I don't see the sense of then artificially capping sales for 5+ months (when you have little clue when sales with subside some, especailly during the slower times of the year). They could do it, and it could be a master stroke.
But I think that is one big fat assumption.
Seeing them production limited for 9 months and slowly creeping up in production numbers seems more likely to me. I could be wrong. I just think my assumption is based more on the facts, unless you are holding back production capacity numbers.
Yeh, Ninny could use the common sense logic and the assumption they themselves propagated as a means to surprise the industry. But the current production shortages would be an assumption they themselves created.
