Due to a strange anomalous blip in the space time continuum, the sales of the 360 fell back a little this week...

But it will still be ahead by over 300k. 

Next week 360 gets it's $75 wal mart card and stock replenished (I bloody hope anyway)
Japan gets FFXIII (for what little good it'll do)
EMEAA will likely keep getting rises close to xmas, with Kinect getting bigger and bigger there

Japan - 10/20k
EMEAA - 350k
Americas - pfft .. 500/800k

860/1,170k



well if the 360 cant meet demand for 500k in the US then the whole shortages angle falls to shit.

nobody can tell me that MS could supply more in 2008 then they can now...

They just did an extra 500k in US alone Nov, so I imagin they're well above 2008 and what they expected. Heck Nov 2010 > almost Dec 2009 with an extra week. It is pretty unprecedented for the 360.

I'd have to check but I am pretty sure supply was massive in 2008, the following shipment was low as there was still supply in the chain early 2009.  So plenty of slack in 2008 but struggling in 2010.

I figured it out! So I went to wal-mart just now and my buddy works in electronics. They had 250GB xbox's but no kinect and he was on the phone with all the wal-marts in the area and they do not have any kinect xbox 360 units or stand alone anywhere. However that is this week and Only in my area. SO I think it could be that the kinect units are what is the driving force for the big surge, No kinects unit, no surge.  All anecdotal evidence or we could go with what others are saying and say it's undertraced. BLAH, I will take the numbers the way they are though.

Remember M$ shot for 5 million and that could be in short supply. Best reason I got, I'm spent.
