UK shortages of Xbox 360 expected
What we already know about here in the US the UK will have to go through on Friday: a shortage of Xbox 360's, primarily due to the amount of pre-orders. Considering the goal of having 3 million Xbox units out the factory door in 90 days, one has to think there may be a possbility of consoles crashing, as there was reported here in the US.
Most shops have already sold out of all their stock because so many people have pre-ordered the new Microsoft console. The Xbox 360 sold out quickly when it was released in the US last week, with some cashing in by offering consoles on the online auction site eBay. The machine is the first of the next generation of consoles, marking the start of a new era in video games. It is one of the most eagerly-awaited consumer electronics debut of the year and vying with Apple's iPod at the top of many people's Christmas lists. Sony and Nintendo are planning to unleash their next gen consoles during 2006, giving Microsoft an edge over its rivals by releasing the 360 now. The software giant is virtually tied with Nintendo for second place, way behind Sony, in a games market worth $25bn globally.
