If people are holding off their purchases, does that not mean that demand will be higher next quarter than it would have been otherwise? If the motherboard manufacturers stored their goods in their warehouses until the next quarter, they could sell them, without any change in their margins and without any surplus supply after the next quarter. I do not understand why they consider a surplus this quarter to be a problem when there will be a proportionate increase in demand next quarter.
