Forums - Sales Discussion - Germany: X Box 360 Slim sold 4x Times more than expected from MS

Microsoft kämpft in Deutschland mit Lieferengpässen

In Deutschland kämpft Microsoft noch immer mit Lieferengpässen, denn die neue Xbox 360 Slim 250GB verkauft sich besser als geplant.

  Wie Microsofts Country Manager Oliver Kaltner im Interview mit GamesIndustry.biz verrät, hat sich die neue Xbox viermal so viel verkauft wie ursprünglich angenommen. "Wir haben die vierfache Menge dessen ausgeliefert und auch durchverkauft, was wir geplant haben" so Kaltner.

Um nicht auf leere Regale zu blicken, musste man sogar zusätzliche Mengen aus anderen Ländern einholen, in denen noch Stückzahlen vorrätig waren. Und fast 2 Monate nach dem Start der Slim kämpft man noch immer mit Lieferengpässen, wie Kaltner weiter erläutert.

"Momentan haben wir zu wenig Ware im Handel, ohne Frage. Wir sind im täglichen Austausch mit unseren wichtigsten Handelspartnern, um die richtigen Mengen zu definieren. Das heißt auch, wir haben so viel Vorordervolumen bei den Händlern eingesammelt, dass es schwierig wird, das bedienen zu können."

Die Xbox 360 Slim mit 250 GB Festplatte ist seit dem 16. Juli im Handel verfügbar. Am 20. August wurde eine weitere Version mit 4 GB internen Flashspeicher veröffentlicht, die auch im Bundle mit Kinect erscheinen wird.

Microsoft is fighting in Germany with a shortage of supply

In Germany, Microsoft still struggles with shortages of supply, as the new 250GB Xbox 360 Slim is selling better than expected.

  
How Microsoft's Country Manager Oliver Kaltner reveals in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, the new Xbox has sold four times as much as originally thought. "We have delivered four times the amount of this and also durchverkauft what we have planned" so Kaltner.

To not look at empty shelves, you had to even obtain additional quantities from other countries, where numbers were still in stock. And almost two months after the launch of the Slim is still struggling with a shortage of supply, as explained further Kaltner.

"Right now we have too few goods in the trade, without question. We are in daily contact with our major trading partners to define the right amounts. That is also, we have so much Vorordervolumen collected at the dealers that it will be difficult, which to serve. "

The Xbox 360 Slim 250 GB hard drive since 16 July commercially available. On 20 August was released another version with 4 GB of internal flash memory, which will also appear in a bundle with Kinect.



Shortages? To be honest, if I had wanted to buy a new 360slim I would have always been able to get one.

Confirms again for me that shortages are a lie.

It has surely sold more than any of us on VGChartz expected too.

I just said what I experienced myself. I don't say that sales are not impressive (and btw. I have a 360) and you don't have to believe me. When I look/looked at local stores or online retailers Xbox360slim units were available almost everywhere, that's it.

Hello

In Belgium, the most important wholesaler of the country has it out of stock pretty much all the time for easily a month now.

Bye.
