Yeh and the controller is quite costly too. If they've cut the number of units being made they also don't get the discount for the numbers they originally increased the manufacturing run by (which was one of the reasons people had thought the increased production run was for when it was announced)
If they're manufacturing less units now over the period to get the yield numbers in a better place, they probably don't need to match the Xbox price, they can sell it for whatever, get the fans to buy at the launch price and then match the Xbox price when they have bigger quantities being made. There's not much business sense sell a product at a loss when you can't fill customer demand.
