We wouldn't be debating the PS/3 (or Blu-ray probably) now if Sony had done it "right".

Heh, that's true.

I was referring to supply/demand and Nintendo simply being in a position to a launch and have enough units ready to field a lot of the demand upfront.

Now we'll see what the follow through is like.

Black Friday is critical. I hope Sony can close the gap this week signifigantly. The lead up to Christmas, as a whole, needs to be signifigant.

I think it will be, simply because Sony knows it HAS to be.
