While a lot’s been written about Wii shortages this holiday season, Microsoft UK says its struggling to satisfy demand for Xbox 360 as the Christmas hardware race heats up.
“We're struggling to meet the demand from every retailer every week. I think we've probably done it better than some of our cohorts out there, but it's a weekly thing - we're getting stock in, we're getting it straight out to the retailers who need it,” Stephen McGill, head of gaming & entertainment for Xbox UK, told GameSpot.
“It's been a great, great year, and obviously Christmas isn't over yet, and there's still a few more weeks... People are out there manically trying to find parking spaces to buy their Christmas presents, and it sounds like Xboxes are on the list for a lot of people,” he added.
Last week a Nintendo UK spokesperson said that the company was considering pulling Wii adverts this holiday season so as not to fuel already insatiable demand for the system, while yesterday Sony CEO Howard Stringer said that 200,000 PS3s were being sold on a weekly basis in Europe.
