They probably don't have the warehouse capacity to store all those extra units. There's a lot of logistics involved in housing and shipping 2.2mil consoles, and "just wait" can be way harder than you would think.

I think he meant to just not ship to stores until all the online, pre-release orders had been delivered.

  1. Shipping probably already started.

  2. B2B deals will have fine print about when units will arrive and be "released".
