Yeah I don't think they did either, but it's more than a bit worrisome what's happening; I don't know how what they expected to happen, given they lie lie lie as usual releasing fewer and fewer units than they promised retailers, which of course are powerless to fix the problem; so then the customers aren't happy because in their mind it's like "I already paid!". 

100,000 units in Japan (their strongest territory) makes no sense.

This is going to work perfectly: the people in Japan who want PS3s will buy the ones that are being sold in America.

I really think that this time though, they weren't just lying for publicity. Like the Bush administration with the most recent election, they probably had no idea what the hell was actually going to happen. I don't think they had a clue that the manufacturing process would get so botched up and that the system would be so incredibly expensive to produce.

Yeah but their launch targets weren't exactly shooting for the moon either =( The problems probably do wash their hands of any wrongdoing though (darn)

This comic pretty well represents the idea. It's how they launched PS2, it's how they launched PSP; and yes that's how it is being done with PS3 as we speak.
