The answer?

Things looked really dire at the beginning of the year. We weren&#8217;t sure if there was gonna be anything at all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Compared to that, I suppose any number of boxes seems good, and heck, securing supply even in non-apocalyptic circumstances is hard: &#8220;I wanna emphasise that, even under the best of circumstances, getting enough quantity for day one is always hard-slash-impossible, I think,&#8221; said Aldehayyat. &#8220;From our perspective, we still got to a pretty good place,&#8221; said Griffais. <\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-ORV41O\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/ORV41O.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Typically what happens with a product like this, is the day one demand is going to be a big, big percentage of the year one demand,&#8221; Griffais continued. &#8220;You just cannot have your factory building for six months\u2026 there&#8217;s always gonna be some gap between supply and demand the first couple of days, couple of weeks.&#8221; Thus, the Steam Machine reservation system that has been running since last Monday, which lets people enter themselves into a queue which is set to be all shaken up today, ideally achieving a modicum of fairness in distribution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really proud of where we&#8217;re at in terms of, like, our sourcing guys did a great job. I think the quantities we have are really good given the circumstances, and our hope is to kinda catch up to demand as quickly as possible,&#8221; said Griffais.
