Nearly three months after launch, Microsoft's Peter Moore is saying that the Xbox 360 shortages are coming to an end. Moore's comments came at the DICE Summit in Las Vegas, which kicked off last week. Moore said that "Within the next four to six weeks, anybody will be able to walk into a store and buy an Xbox 360."
Four-to-six weeks clearly isn't today, however. While shortages were expected early on, by Christmas time it was clear that Microsoft had overstated its shipping goals. The question is: why? The answer is pretty simple: the company overestimated its production capabilities. Additionally, many fault Microsoft's bold decision to launch in North America, Europe and Japan simultaneously. While units in North America could barely make it to shelves before being snapped up, only 25-50 percent of the Japanese allocation was sold in the first few days of the launch. The Xbox 360 is still widely available in Japan, and interest is mild.
The Street started sounding the alarms in late January, warning investors that Microsoft's second quarter sales (4Q calendar year) estimates would likely be off. The company came out looking strong, regardless, although they did revise their overall shipping estimates. The company still believes that its Xbox business will be profitable by the middle of this year.
At DICE, Peter Moore continued to back the simultaneous release strategy.
"Was it controversial? Yes. But it's what we needed to do to bring next-gen gaming to a global audience. There have been short-term shortages, but we're driving a clear advantage as we go forward. It was the right decision," he said. "There were component shortages, but they've been fixed. Now we're starting to cook. We're building a vibrant, rich and profitable business model for the future."

I'm hoping frys will have it on sale.
The only other deal was (maybe still is, don't know) gamestop.com has free overnight shipping on it
Let us know how good (or not?) it is. My wife loves racing games, and I'm rather a fan of them, too, so I wouldn't mind hearing how it goes.Originally posted by: CVSiN

If you're unaware, there is a demo available on live. It's pretty fun and I"ll probably pick it up if it goes on sale, or used for $30ish in a month or two.
I'm still anxiously awaiting fight night and morrowind!

Just a heads up, the early reviews of the game (full auto) are getting 5's and 6's (out of 10s) and has horrible framerate issues they say. Like dropping to 20 FPS and stuff.
No thanks

I'm with you there. I've played my PS2 more since I had my 360. Kameo was the only game that kept my attention, and then I got stuck. Madden on this 360 is pretty, but the PS2 version is so much better.Originally posted by: Koing
