Analyst: Hardware Supply Constraints To Hit Holidays?
Posted by XanTium | October 31 14:22 EST | News Category: Xbox360
From gamasutra.com: [QUOTE] Analyst Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets recently released his comments on current industry sales trends leading up to the closely-watched holiday season, stating in particular that hardware supply constraints and lower pricing for PS2 and Wii software may pose health risks for the industry's sales numbers.
"Holiday hardware demand may outstrip supplies," Sebastian said. "We believe one of the themes from the upcoming holiday period could be hardware supply constraints, driven by ongoing strong demand for Nintendo's Wii and a shift in Xbox 360 unit sales from 4Q into the September quarter, while Sony's PS3 and PSP may benefit from lower price points."
