But Wii and PS3 shortages were fake too last year...
Above: still the best game of the year.

Shortages? What? Where? So the huge piles of XB360s and Kinects I saw yesterday at MediaWorld, were they cheap Chinese fakes? Now I understand why nobody was buying them...

Can't you tell between a serious post and a fanboyish post?
I don't see why the 500k part was too ridiculous though. VGC has it at about 500k and this news shows that 360 is probably doing unexpectedly under expectations due to shortages so that gap will likely widen a bit to over 500k as long as VGC has Wii spot on, which we have no real reason to doubt as of yet.

I can confirm this. No xbox360 in 3 my local stores for 2 weeks or so.

Are you from the U.S ??
Doesn't someone do this every year? Having said that, the Xbox has undoubtedly done very well in America

I am from the U.S and there is just no way to tell if there are shortages or not. You can go to one store and find tons of 360's and go to another and find none. The only way to tell is from Microsoft or a retail giant. I hate it when people go "oh i haven't seen any 360's around" or "oh, i see tons of them stocked up". It is just stupid and is most likely a lie unless it comes from MS/retailer.

No. Was the news referred only to US? It makes more sense then, Kinect succeeded beyond the rosiest dreams of MS most faithful fans there...
Seece said: Ugh, MS should really know how to judge demand by now, shortages is not a good enough excuse. |
They probably couldn't make enough. They just introduced a completely new hardware revision, how many consoles have had that many consoles to ship in the first year? The same goes for the PS3 slim as well.
Tease.

Well it is in reference to NPD and NPD only tracks US.
