PSP Japan Launch looking ugly

[Ginkasa]

Someday, though, not making enough systems is going to backfire. One of these days, there's going to be some people who walk to the store ot buy a PS# and when they don't find one available, they buy some competitor console out of frustration.

It'll probably take a couple of generations for that to actually escalate to damaging proportions, but it'll happen...

Hopefully Ninty will have enough NDSs there, so ppl can get that instead.

Nintendo knew ahead of time in the US how many NDS's were pre-sold. They have an official pre-order system/setup so they know ahead of time approx. how many NDS's to make and obviously more after that to accomadte the non-pre order'ers. Right now I could probably go to my local EB's and pickup a DS if I wanted to.

It probably already happens, thing is most people who are going to spend 150-200+ dollars on something aren't gonna go "Eh, instead of waiting a week or so extra, I'll spend this fairly large amount of money on something I don't want as much"...

Nope, but it's the parents and other uninformed buyers that might buy something else instead.

Oh well, PSP won't be out in the US till March, right?

not at launch, very doubtful that'll happen. unless it goes on and where people cant find one to the point were they get fed up with looking week after week..

people may think about buying something else when the thing they want is sold out at launch, but when the other item has so many there it gives the person time to say, hey, i'll think about it, this will still be here next week as i wait for the sold out item.

something being sold out when it comes out just creates more hype, always has, always will. it makes the item look so popular and hard to get that you almost dont have time to think about it when you see one, you buy first think later.
