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.
