Microsoft is saying they are "not sure" how many units will be available at launch. Bullshit. With a month and a half uniil launch, this is a nice way of saying they are not going to meet their original goal. They know exactly how many consoles they will be able to produce based on their current manufacturing rate, and if they don't they seriously need to hire a new analyst. I would be expecting shortages.

this is a rumour and all speculation...

MS has a new plant in Mexico that is MORE than capable to handle the loadout in a short period of time..not only this..but they will be there much quicker due to overnight shipping over the border....

One reason other non us developed consoles may not have enough for ship is due to customs...shipping overseas is not as easy as it sounds.
