Meanwhile, Amazon, an old pro in this market, has managed its supply chain well and can continue to fulfill as the orders come rolling in. Not being able to deliver by Christmas puts both Sony and Barnes & Noble at a disadvantage, forcing them to cede customers to the giant of online retail.

So we are both right/wrong.  The article is just too short and leaves out details on both sides. |
If you read that without any knowledge of the background, it comes across as 'the two newcomers clearly didn't have enough know-how to have enough stock, while on the other hand, the old-pro Amazon, as usual, has
yet again perfectly managed their stock to demand.'
That interpretation would be seriously altered if you instead admitted 'while on the other hand, the old-pro Amazon, after completely failing to anticipate demand/stock enough inventory...
two years running, finally managed to stock enough units this time around to meet demand.'
