| starcraft said: Microsoft said that they had NA shortages right through to the end of March. One million consoles in stock worldwide has always been seen as sufficient during off-peak periods. At this point in time I expect the number in stores is probably closer to 1.5 million, as Microsoft tries to stuff the chain before GTAIV. |
theres the problem with your post. You dont think MS did a huge manufacturing over haul to replenish stock? If they didn't they obviously believed that the stock was sufficient enough for the demand. Obviously if they didn't they believed they werent hurting sales.
1 million "unsold" during a non-holiday period is indicative of pretty short supply. I'd expect PS3 to be more like 2-2.5m and 360 to be more like 1.5m "unsold". - The Boss
Also if you believe the channel is stuffed with the same amount you are believing that 360's shortages are similar to Wii's... which is humorous. (Heres a hint why. 360's where never that hard to come by.)
