people being claiming shortage since the beginning of the year, you guys need to get your shortage excuse right, what will you do if next week the 360 sell the same amount and do the same the week after that??


What do we need to claim?  Could be that MS was able to replenish faster, could be that this is the natural level for this time of year. It isnt like the numbers are bad.  It is like last year. Sony said shortages and the Sony faithful kept pushing that, but the PS3 never did start selling more once the shortages were over.

I just have passed on what Microsoft said and that was the ran out in December (and if you watched the thread devoted to Xbox supply in December that was pretty apparent) and then when air shipped units arrived for the last week before Christmas all of a sudden there was decent supply.   Yet those air shipped units werent put on boats. Thus MS also said it could be hard to find 360s late January to mid February and they hope to be back to normal retail levels by March.  Key is they said it "could be hard to find".



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
