X360 launch faces availability problem

Posted on Tuesday, 11 October 2005 by Speed, source: Eurogamer
In an interview with Eurogamer, Microsoft's J.Allard has stated that they want to launch their next console all over the world at the same time but that this will come with problems of availability :

We decided we're going to take a little bit of heat on allocations, frankly, in all the territories rather than take a lot of heat in one or two territories. So, we're not saying Europe comes four months later, we're saying Europe comes now, but with that combining it with the physics properties of the silicon means we're going to have some disappointment in terms of what we can provide to retail and ultimately to the consumers this year, but that's okay, because we want to get the market started. We want to get started on a worldwide basis, we want to do the right thing for gamers, for our publishers and for consumers.

The right thing to do would be to make sure you've got enough units ready the moment you actually launch Mr. Allard... If that's not the case, it might be interesting to consider moving back the launch date.
