RUMOR: 360 shortages not solely due to consumer demand
RUMOR: 360 shortages not solely due to consumer demand

Were Microsoft lying when they put their supply problems down to consumer demand back in February? One inside source seems to think so, suggesting that manufacturing quality of certain aspects of the 360 were questionable.

Headlines that end with question marks always make me cringe.
I thought MS was already questioning the manufacturing quality after the whole 3 year RROD warranty announcement.[ Veteran ] [ Level 13 ] [ Rank: 825 ]bids

one thing I would have to disagree with in this article is the claim that Microsoft was lying that supply problems were due to consumer demand.
I can see how higher-than-expected consumer demand back in November and December could really mess with their production schedule to put out the updated systems. If they didn't sell as well as they did in those months, they should still have enough on shelves to cover the time it took them to finalize these new units.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 148 ]bids
