It’s more an American thing anyway, especially with the PC and Xbox tie in. I’d rather just play my pc or take my laptop when I’m not in the house, plus it’s more productive.

demand has been "a lot higher than we expected."

So, they expected to sell 100k.
They got orders for a million.
They ship a million that will most of the time sit on shelves because they sell only the 100k (or less).
Just like it happened the last time.
Gabe,
you continue to prove what an idiot you are.
You should step down and let someone else drive.
