When did Microsoft say that supply issues were continuing now Tird?
It was blatantly obvious in January and most of February to all non-Sony-fanboys.

I actually remember a bunch of non bias Wii fans saying it was BS too.... hm but looks like you need to single out sony.


 That's what delusional Xbots do, since the Wii is annihilating their console they have no ammo to attack the Wii fans so they single out the sony fans.

Guys, we are getting off topic. We have all kinds of threads here at the moment talking about what that statement means, and if MS really was supply constrained. I just want to know in this thread as to why, of if MS has said why.

 To stick with the topic.... Yes, Microsoft did give reason for the supply restrain, right after they stated the exact percentage of RRoD, and before they explain the lies in the Bible.

 

 

translation: no, they never said a thing, there are people who will blindly believe anything Microsoft says.

Really? Who?

I find this knew "I call BS" thing that you and a few others on the site have taken too to be rather petty.  It feels like a way to avoid having to deal with the logic and evidence thats present in a situation.

For example:

-Gamers report 360 shortage

-Retailers report 360 shortage

-Microsoft confirms 360 shortage

-Pooper calls BS

When? About a few hours ago

 

"We definitely expect we will trail in February as a result of our supply constraints," Greenberg said, adding: "By April, we will be in a very healthy inventory situation."

 

Translation, we will NOT have a very hearlthy inventory situation until April


Did they say they would have unhealthy inventory in March? Working out supply issues in March never meant out of stock on February 29th (leap year right?) and in stock on March 1. It meant over the course of March the console will become readily available in more and more areas.


 hence why it's unhealthy because they are STILL claiming they are under somewhat a restrain in March

 I love how Microsoft keep it ambiguous.

 Thanks, now I can leave a thread of what soon will be a bunch of people yelling at each other for no real reason.

 Well, unless one of them owns Sony or MS, then they at least have a reason to fight for there random corporation of choice.

Oy. They're not keeping it ambiguous, they're starting the GTA IV hype. No one cares about the 360 supply in March; everyone wants to know whether it will be available in droves when GTA IV hits shelves.

It shouldn't surprise anyone that MS is basically ignoring March to make a comment about April.
