(Japan) Microsoft apologizes for Xbox 360 shortages Posted by XanTium | August 20 12:00 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From andriasang.com: [QUOTE] Microsoft posted a statement at the official Xbox.jp website today apologizing for Xbox 360 shortages. Translated (unofficially) from its original Japanese, the posting reads as follows: "Currently, due to shortages of the Xbox 360 system, the situation has arisen where the Xbox 360 hardware cannot be purchased at many retailers. This is something that resulted from many more customers than we'd expected wanting to purchase the Xbox 360 system. We sincerely apologize to customers looking into a purchase, retailers, and to our partners." [/QUOTE] Full Story: andriasang.com

Wow, really? Never thought that would happen.

Yeah, that's crazy, they sold all 10 of them huh.

And I'm sure it has nothing to do with the 65nm die shrink and getting rid of existing inventory

Edit: Oops just noticed it's Japan...

while selling units is a good thing, not having the supply for the current demand is not a good thing either.

MS just can't get things right in Japan...feast or famine...

This is a good thing, because with more consoles out in Japan, their devs will start paying more attention to the 360 which means better JAP support!

I would expect there are more than 10 people in Japan

But yaa maybe they are getting fedup of the lack of Wii 3rd party Games
