I posted this in another thread but I think this might help to explain MS's supply problems.

No it doesn't, and it doesn't make any sense. You know that just by Dec NPD that consumer demand isn't drying up, so stop shoving this link down our throats in every sales related thread.


Look at the article, it was posted back in September. And this is only the second thread I've posted it in. Consumer demand wasn't 'drying up' back in September, it just wasn't as high as MS originally projected back before the launch of the slim. And I would assume they adjusted their forecast for the holidays and quarter 1 as a consequence of that.

Again, no, sales SINCE slim have been crazy, it's been having it's best ever months in the U.S and I imagin it isn't an isolated situation. They just had their best June, July, August, November and December NPD's ever, with September 07 (Halo3) beating this Sep and Oct being behind 08 Oct (price cut) so demand since slim has been massive. Also Q4 for MS is April/June. Not that it makes the article any more relevant.
