it also says:

> On top of that, Valve may be constrained in the number of units they can actually ship, so there may be downward pressure on a higher demand. We don’t know for sure.

Given that the waitlist still exists, I think we can be pretty sure.

Yes, but it does not tell you if the demand is 3x what the supply is right now or simply slightly above supply.

That's the point the root comment was making: The numbers only tell us how many units Valve is able to manufacture/ship, it doesn't tell us about the demand beyond that.

So it's not clear what point you were trying to make with your "it also says" comment.
