Xbox marketing boss Harvey Eagle has asked UK stores to be ‘patient’ over Xbox One supply shortages.

Various indie stores have contacted MCV over a lack of Xbox One stock for launch. Microsoft acknowledges there are shortages, but says it hopes to get to a free supply situation at some point in the future.

“There are challenges for things like supply, which is typical for a new platform launch,” admitted Eagle.

“So that means we are not always about to give our trade partners exactly what they ask for us. But we ask for patience, our excellent operations team is working as hard as they can to meet that demand.

“I am confident at one stage in the future we will get to a free supply situation, so I ask for patience until we get to that point.

“But we are incredibly excited about launch and we hope that they are, too, because it is not only a great opportunity for us, but hopefully they see it as an opportunity for them as well.”

That's not good...

..purely due to high demand guys. scaling back to just 13 countries and not fully meeting retail demands in those countries has nothing to due with supply. demand is just soo high...

Well at atleast they dont seem to rushing production to fill every supply demand I would rather them be short for a little bit then rush the concole and increase the fail rate

You know what else is high?

Sorry in what world do you live in? xbox one hasn;t even launched, could  be riddled with flaws.

Ummm were did i say it wouldnt  i said increase  i expect there to be some problems its a launch.  But if they rushed production to meet tge demand then that rate would likly increase then what it wouldve been

A-fricking-men lol

At least would be referring to another company "is" rushing a console to market

lol!!
