I wonder why they're doing this. I mean, they can't sell the ones they've made so far, so why increase production. Unless maybe this portends of a price drop. ???
Hello? Every gaming manufacturer does this. 360 has shipped about 2 million more consoles than they have actually sold. They literally have 2 million in the supply chain right now, on boats, in stores, or in transport.
I would not be surprised by this at all. Numbers picked up a little in Japan, if they keep making some descent games they could bump up to 150k-200k a month. March will probably be a little bigger in the US with all the new releases.
Plus Europe is selling out. It's likely they sell out the entire launch stock of 1 million + units. So in terms of actually sold. I'm seeing 3.5 million by the end of March.
