I would assume that when ToV launches, everything will work out. But lets see how X360 sales are this week. If they stay around 5,000 units, I think we can say that it's indeed being held back by hardware shortages. But if it's above 7,000 or so...Then I don't think there's a big issue. |
There's been ample talk of increased sales, but this is the first report I've seen of any actual shortages.
I wonder if the potential lack of supply could turn somebody off who otherwise would have bought a box for the upcoming RPG releases. There's not much Xbox enthusiasm in Japan, so many who do buy it are probably somewhere on or near that bubble, and I can't see any Japanese actually being willing to hunt for one.
