True, but rightly or wrongly the number they said they were going to make would've factored into some people's purchasing decisions. I think it's poor form to change something like that after people have already put money down.
I’m surprised people actually care about the LE numbers so much, I’ve brought quite a few LEs over the years and my number one reason is always for the full game/extra features, second if it’s the better art package and all round package powdercoating, backglass etc.
Come to think of it I don’t even look at the number of LEs produced.
