Xbox 360 explodes back onto US shop shelves
Fresh shipments expected to land in US stores on Friday
Microsoft has come good on its promise to replenish Xbox 360 stocks as quickly as possible by announcing that US shop shelves will receive a second batch of consoles at the end of this week.
Its great news for US gamers disappointed after the Xbox 360 launched across North America last week and promptly sold out quicker than you could say high-definition.
Speaking to USA Today, um, yesterday, Microsofts Molly ODonnell said that replacement stock was, on the way, and it should be on retailers' shelves by the end of the week or for the weekend." ODonnell also emphasised Microsofts commitment to the weekly replenishment strategy that Microsoft executives have been bandying around since the first fears of an Xbox 360 stock shortage reared their heads back in September.
And high ranking Xbox 360 exec Peter Moore recently told us that he was doing everything possible to get more consoles on shelves, saying, We've got two factories working 24 hours a day. We've got air freight running as well as boats, because you can get more units on boats. All we can do is make them as fast as we can and ship them as fast as we can."
The news comes as a relief both for Xbox 360-hunting North Americans and us Europeans, since were facing the consoles launch on this continent on Friday. The fact that Microsoft is as promised making sure consoles are landing on shelves week after week should prevent the kind of stock droughts that have afflicted other games systems like Sonys PSP.
Not content with giving hope to legions of gamers desperate for an Xbox 360, ODonnell then addressed some of the technical problems reported by owners of the console. "We are doing everything we can to take care of gamers who are having problems," she said, before pointing out that disgruntled owners were well under the 3 usually suffered by new electronic devices.
