Well first of all I am not trolling, my response is directly related to this thread,
second no one here said selling 50K more after 31 days being half priced in it's strongest territory is a good thing, all I have said is the 360 still outsold the PS3.
thirdly I remember 360 having shortages after holiday 2007 in america, and Microsoft came out and said it, but as usual people claimed bull, and yet one of my friends was shopping around for a 360 at that time here in new york city and all he could find were ARCADES, I then called my local gamestop here in queens, new york city and they said they were none left and we had to wait for the next shipment.
After tales of vesperia and infinite undiscovery came out 360 sales got a boost then the 360 started having shortages in Japan, microsoft once again came out and said they were having shortages in Japan, people again claimed bull, 360 sales took a huge dip, retailers in Japan were also reported to have low 360 numbers people still claimed bull, then some people started celebrating the low sales of the 360 for that week, microsoft said they were sending another batch to Japan I knew microsoft was happy to make that anouncement, the next week sales shot up again, even more so because of the price cut.
I believe microsoft stopped making anouncements for shortages because even if they do people will claim bull, 360 sales dropped to 4000 units 2 weeks ago I thought it was hardware shortages as soon as I saw it, some people once again started celebrating, hoping 360 sales would stay that way, this past week sales practically doubled, I believe 360 sold 7500 last week.
The past is the reason why I believe 360 is having shortages, Microsoft sold 8 million 360s worldwide between the month of september 2008 and february 2009, due to the price cut, thats 8 million consoles in 6 months, I am thinking maybe just maybe they are having shortages now in the month of march, but hey call me a crazy fanboy, whatever.
