Can only speak for my local Sainsbury's supermarket, though it is the biggest one in the country (UK), but they had a few Kinects on the shelf this morning, and 360 appeared to be fully stocked.. at least as far as shelf space goes but supermarkets don't tend to put that much out tbf.



In London at-least there inst a shortage of either ps3 or xboxs :/ Well from hat iv seen anyway (HMV etc)



Yeah i know my spelling sucks but im dysgraphic so live with it :3

Conegamer - I say that the PS3 will beat the DS next week in Japan  (for hardware sales) Forfeit is control over others avatar for 1 week.

How would most people know what "low supply" was?

There are a lot of people here that think "Oh there's an xbox, shortage is FAKE"

But, I have no idea I don't really go check stock levels of items in shops, think that's kinda ....



 

I was in Germany's biggest electronics store on friday and they had several piles of both 360 and Kinect lying around. But like Amazon they are selling Kinect for 30 Euros less than the official price for most of January, so maybe they had only just been restocked.

I haven't been to an electronics store since before Christmas, however I did look for a Kinect at Costco for my Brother-in-Law. 

So at Costco, the Kinect/360 bundle was sold out, but there were maybe 15-20 Kinect stand alone available.

To be fair though, anecdotal evidence is not very telling of overall sales...we all know this.  Heck, before Christmas every store I did go to had next to no stock of 360 or Kinects and loads of Wii's and PS3's, and we know the Wii beat the 360 in December.

and in Hong Kong,Kinect still selling around $179(or $149 but you need to buy at least 2 games) in almost every store...fuck them
