Expectations
Comments for: Sony fails to sell 1 million PSPs in first week - ja.zz. This is a classic case of missetting expectations.
Nintendo allocated 550K machines and sold 500K of them so they were doing this at Christmas. Sony launches and sells 600-700K but says they are going to do 1M. Who looks dumb?
Anyway, now the DS looks like a runaway and Sony is "struggling" despite selling more. There were other issues, but the big one is that if you set low expectations and beat them then you are the winner. Caveat Emptor.
