As everyone knows by now, Microsoft just can’t put out enough consoles to meet demand, or to meet industry analyst projections (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2002718915_bizbriefs04.html) for that matter. Overall the Xbox 360 has sold 1.3 million consoles in 6 weeks but it did fall short of estimates. Maybe “analyst” should bone up on their “projecting”.
Sales may have reached 900,000 in North and South America, 300,000 in Europe and 100,000 in Asia, Sherlund said Tuesday in a note. That would fall short of Goldman's estimate of as many as 1.8 million units, he said. The lag may indicate production problems, Sherlund said, adding that demand for the machine probably will outstrip supply for the next two quarters.
