Forums - Microsoft - Those people saying the 360 still has supply issues, where do you live?

@mystic

Thats some grade A trolling you have going on there!

As for the Wii, here in the UK (in my city anyway) i can walk into almost any store and pick up a Wii... Seems like they have met up with demand here anyway!

LOL we get it MS has finally met supply which they said they would around March which I'll be danm we are in March. Man talk about beating a dead horse heh.  In terms of NPD depending on when they met supply constraint they may or may not be ahead of the PS3.  We will soon know.

Oh no some people still dont get it. Some people still say that supply issues havent been resolved, when I say there never were any that would impact sales more than 1,000 console or so.


The only one that keeps bringing up this issue the at least the past week is you with your followers like dmjeister encouraging you on. Seriously man get over it yes the 360 is now widely available and has been for the past week or 2.

@elnino
While you obviously live in America and know there is not a supply issue at all, quite a few people from Fantasy Land and the Land of Infinite Denial seem to believe that the 360 is HUGELY in demand and can't be found anywhere.

I was just trying to make sure people didn't apply this supply issue from the Land of Infinite Denial to the reason the 360 was getting beaten in America. But you seem rational enough, I wont bring it up again. Im sure some 360 fanboy will later today though...wonder if youll be as quick to jump on that post as you were on this one.



last month 2 of the 4 superwalmarts in the area I lived didnt have either the wii or the 360 lancaster Cal.

Close to site nine were they launched the 360! havent checked recently since I got one already!

Some suggested they were revamping the 360 with a new m/b and and the switch slowed production or even a new sku was coming I dont know!

still sales are strong for all consoles compared to last year! Hell the PS3 had to pick it up from 100000 a month last year! too good of product!

and have any of you guys seen any wii's in stock just lying around in any of your stores?

Haha no. I still see the same sign ive been seeing since 06. The Wii is currently out of stock and they have no idea when they will be in stock again.

Bringing the up, does anyone think this is the year we will be able to find them in any store?


 I'd hope so around April or May, though Mario Kart and Wii Fit may screw it up again.

>no way. with brawl coming out. mario kart coming out. and wii fit coming out. probably 3 of the top 10 best-selling wii games, maybe even 3 of the top 5.

No console after over a year, should still be that supply restrained. Never happened to PS1 (over 100 million sold) or PS2 (over 120 million sold), If Wii wants to come close to those numbers, they better shape up their manufacturing sector.

Eh Wii is out producing the PS1 and PS2 on a month to month basis compared to what PS1 and PS2 were producing at this time... by quite a bit i believe. I'm pretty sure no console has ever even produced the 1.8 Mil a month they are supposidly making.

It's just selling waaay better then the PS1 and PS2.  So you can't really use the PS1 or PS2 as a "yeah but"

Again your the one in denial LOL. Please name all the people living in Fantasy Land who have posted in the last week that claim the 360 is supply constriant. Unless these people posted on the weekends since I don't check the forums on the weekends your the only person that I seen bringing this issue up. Not sure how long you been here on the forums but basically the breakdown is Jan-Mid Feb 360 supply issues here in the usa but late feb-now seems to be gone. What more do you need to drop this issue. Should I expect another thread tomorow or next week about supply issues? Like I said just give it a rest man heh.

@kaz ---some people like to argue with reality and just make stuff up

Wii is no ordinary console, it appeals to wide range of people (much like the DS).  Why shouldn't a console be supply constrain after one year if it is selling well?

Nintendo business model is always conservative one.  You make it sound like they could just magically pump out all the Wii they want to.  It take a lot to get production going especially for electronic items.

It's too bad PS3 need so many price-cut plus gutting out features for it to start selling.

And I am not sure why this tread even get start when there are two others on 360 supply already.  Looks at all the same "PS3" cheerleaders show up in this trend to spout mis-information.   Most posts I have seen lately all indicate that 360 are now being restock.  (see other trends on 360 supply).  MS said they should solve the supply problem by March....and guess what ? It is March!  But I guess looking and reading calendar is probably just as hard as trying to read and post appropriately in the forum where there are already trend on this subject.

You guys are the reason I visit this site less and less in the last month.
