| papflesje said: it is supply constrained, next week still > PS3. Could you link a source saying they are supply constraint, because they have just recently shipped a large shipment, and you say they would be out of them again? And no other site I frequent has made mention of a supply constraint. |
I don't know about right now, but they were short on stock right after the price drop. Here's two very reliable sites on sales commenting on 360 shortages.
From Media Create http://www.m-create.com/ranking/ :
またハード市場では、Xbox360が9月11日より従来モデルの値下げと、新たにハードディスク60GB搭載モデルを発売。その影響もあってWiiや PSPに迫る好調な販売台数となっている。しかしながら、出荷台数はやや不足しており、十分な供給量があればさらに販売台数を伸ばした可能性が高かったと 考えられる。
"Also, in the hardware area, the Xbox 360 saw the release of a new 60GB model as well as price drops across all models on 9/11. Because of this, the system saw sales approaching the Wii and PSP. However, shipments appear to have been too low to satisfy demand, and had there been enough units there is a high probability that sales would have increased even further."
From sinobi http://ameblo.jp/sinobi/ :
供給量が潤沢であれば、他を圧倒する数値で1位だったとは思うが、
何はともあれ、初の1位獲得はおめでたい。
本体の品薄を早急に解決していただきたいところ。
"Had there been enough stock in place, I think it (the Xbox 360) would have taken first place with an overwhelming number, but whatever the case, comgratulation on taking 1st place for the first time. It's hoped that they will fix the hardware shortage situation ASAP."
