TopicDo MS/Sony/Nintendo deliberately manufacture fewer consoles at launch?

It might partially be due to the fact that they do not yet know how well their consoles are going to sell. So if they are going to manufacture and sell some amount of a video game console, and only ten percent of the supply was sold, then the company would suffer a large loss. This is just a drastic example, really. In any case, my guess is that these lot would not want to manufacture more consoles than they can sell. In regards to Mr. Kimbo's remark, it may be that Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft do not wish to repeat the mistakes they had made before. Another way to look at it is that if say Nintendo wants to intentionally cause a shortage, then I speculate that they only wish to minimize the costs they incur by manufacturing unsold consoles. And like Mr. Kimbo also said, it does not make sense for these companies to intentionally underproduce in order to enable scalpers. Only scalpers profit off scalpers.
