The things I mentioned was on the internet people should remember the shortages after holiday 2007, when microsoft came out and said they had shortages,

and people should remember the recent news of microsoft replenishing hardware in Japan back in september,

so please I ain't going to work that hard just to prove my point to a person that still don't even believe the company that makes the system.

someone else might but not me.

If you can't prove a point, then don't make one.

You really are shooting yourself in the foot with this argument. Be glad that Zucas, Khuutra, or Naz isn't here to argue with you. I'm nice. 

Again, you are not entitled whatever the hell you'd like as truth. Because what are you doing isn't true at all.

The reason why I am not goint to find the links is because Max won't even believe the company, so what is the point.

Look, the only case where I can remember the 360 in shortage was in Japan when Tales launched. It was hard to find and we have pictures documenting it.

Whenever they claimed the same in America before GTA launched (and was being outsold by PS3) they claimed the same. Those were refuted because no major retailer was out online and they were easily found in stores.

I am talking about in January when they were having shortages right after the holiday season.

They probably had shortages up to march right before GTA 4 launch as well, its funny how it is the month of march ps3 closed the gap, again like I said 360 had shortages same time last year after the holiday season, and like I said before it's not a stretch of the imagination that they are now running low, because from september 2008 to February 2009 microsoft sold 8 million consoles, thats 8 million consoles in 6 months, its not unbelievable to me that they are now running low, because it happened last year and they are selling more consoles than last year.

And I don't think it was proven true that microsoft was not telling the truth I think it was gamers saying that and showing one or two retailers don't mean anything like I said I had shortages in my area around that time.

I will post again so you can read it.

 


give. it. up. sales. never. increased. shortages. never. hindered. sales.

You see, it wasn't just one or two retailers! I could go to the ~15 video game stores near me and the only thing they have trouble keeping stock of is the Wii!

And I believe that MS was spinning, like all companies do, to stay positive about being beat by the PS3.

Besides, if there really were shortages, then I'm sure MS would be more than happy to bolster the confindence of shareholders, current prospective alike. But like then, there are no shortages.

it was just the pro model and sales never increased when the supposed shortages were over. so obviously the shortages never hindered sales

 

 Now you are saying their was a shortage, but before you said there was none. I don't remember sales picking up or not, all I remember is there was a shortage.

Well people will alway believe Microsoft is spinning even in Japan in August 2008, people believed microsoft was spinning then 360 sales dipped to 1500 and from thousands weeks before, and instead of saying their might be shortages some people were just happy to see 360 sell that low, and sales shot up the next month because microsoft sent more consoles to Japan and had a price cut and outsold the ps3 in Japan that month 55,000 units to ps3 33,000 units.

The same thing happened just 2 weeks ago 360 sold 4000 units and I thougt it was shortages and once again people didnt think about shortages, but just celebrated the fact that 360 sold that much and saying 360 looks to be returning to selling 2000 units again in Japan which I didn't think would happn and then sales shot up again, and 360 just sold 7500 units last week in Japan.

The days of the 360 selling 2000 units a week is definetly over I predicted 360 would be selling 9000 a week when it got to 199 and 360 has been averaging 12,000 a month before the price drop in september starting with tales of vesperia.

This is it! We have a winner!

@ Jeronimo

Yeah that rise in sales must have NOTHING at all to do with the new game that was released?

ill present you with evidence and you can decide for yourself.

A. MS claimed only one model out of three were low supply.

B. MS claimed it was only in NA.

i dont know about you but that already sounds weird to me.

C. MS claimed this after ps3 just started outselling it consistantly in npd reports.

D. they claimed shortages for 5 months. (what kind of system takes 5 months to replenish supply that isnt the wii. 360 at this time was selling a measly 120k weekly too but wait... it was NA only so more like 70k )

E. after supposed shortages were taken care of sales never increased
