Next-Gen speaks with Microsoft Xbox spokesman David Dennis to get the backstory on the Xbox 360's supply issues.
Microsoft was by no means surprised that PlayStation 3 outsold Xbox 360 in January. The firm began reaching out to mainstream and gaming media outlets (including Next-Gen) earlier this week to explain why Xbox 360 had such a down month.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
Assuming they are truly having supply issues that is a complete fiasco. With GTA about to launch what can be more annoying than wanting to buy a 360 and not having it available. They can't even drop the price cus that will increase demand and why would you have demand with no supply when there is a perfect substitute in the ps3. They better be stocking up for GTA demand. But if they dnt expect suppy to balance out till mid march then GTA launches increasing demand with a hot product like GTA around. Talk about seld destruction
just from fact,
i would think they would be manufacturing the hell outta 360's with the failure rates and warranty returns. i dunno tho im not at microsoft or nintendo. MS better get themselves ready to go.
It's completely true, I had to go to a few stores today to find some stuff for my new place, that only Target had. I wanted to buy DMC4 as well and I went to Target first and all the 360's were gone and when I was checking out they were asking on the walkies if they had anymore 360's. Went to 2 other Targets before actually going to Wal-mart to find what I needed and for fun I looked and all were sold out of 360's but had PS3's. Funny thing is all they had were 40Gig's though.
I just saw 360's TODAY at Walmart in Tampa Florida. THEY ARE NOT FLYING OFF THE SHLEVES. They got outsold by the PS3 even in December!!! ITS NOT LIKE THE 360 IS FLYING OF SHELVES OR HAS BEEN HAHAHAHAHHAA WHAT LOSERS.
I know that they sold alot of consoles from Sep-Dec, but they need to get on the ball and stay there. I can remember Gamestop's online store was completely sold out of every 360 sku at the beginning of January. Gotta keep that momentum growing.
