Learn from the PSX! the original playstation is the sole reason gaming is as big and as influential as it is today. The original playstation sold over 100 million consoles before there were as many gamers as there are today. I think they did learn, corrected their mistakes with the PS2 (lack of power and true online support) and have the exclusives that made the playstation brand what it is today. Playstation owners outnumber Xbox owners 4:1, and only 12.5% of xbox owners are members of xbox live anyway so online isn't as big as people think.

Not to start some war or anything but do u really believe that if M$ shipped 6 million consoles by march of this year they would've sold out? doubt it. Part of this "shortage" i think is to create an artificial demand for the system, Sony on the other hand has at least 75 million PS2 owners anxiously waiting for the PS3. Regardless of your opinion
