This happend with ps3 also well said it did the usa got first shipment was meant to be world wide release nothing new in this make prototypes then u think u get enough parts
for first run you got buy in bulk to save costs but chould be some parts they run out of
id say got fund getting more inventry based on fisrt lot sales am not sure these big chains pay in advance might have deal so they can test waters how good sales go, but thats biz deal between barry and the companys none are affair
But Sony had already delivered a total of 200 million PS1 & PS2 products and their past followers needed to be kept up to date about Sony's alternative to Xbox 360 to stop people jumping ship.
Bit of a difference here.
