ha ha i love evryone saying the 360 is down due to shortages, im not being funny but the ps3 had massive sales too 800k   and your saying there not in shortage too? and last year when the ps3 was selling 900k nearly 1 million, there were no shortages after...cut the crap

they are having shortages thanks to america, sony didnt sell that much... in america. Sony didnt just launch a new console... ummm logic should be entered into posts.

what? like last year when ps3 released a newer version of their console, had higher sales than the 360 over christmas but then still managed to keep the higher sales for a long time after xmas? shortages my arse

Well you can live in that fantasy land but the rest of us in america that walk into our local store and see the 360 section desimated understand that MS pushed as many consoles out as they could and simply ran out.  The reality is that without the shortages 360 was selling on a 1:1 ratio with the Wii in America.  As supply increase over the next couple of months look for 360 sales to steadily climb while the other consoles steadily fall during this normal slow season.

Well sorry I don't live in America so i can hardly walk into a shop there, but no The giant retail store tesco in england which i work in, has a full shelf of kinect and 360, its sells, then it get's restocked......there really isnt a shortage here, so why the massive drop in europe? when the stock is fine? do i have to take photos to show you, ill even take photos of the massive cage out back, stocked high and well of it, like i said shortages......my arse
