I'm really upset with the US shortage. In Japan, there is a surplus...what is up with that?

Using a clever marketing technique, they're obviously creating a shortage to raise hype... more hype means more systems sold and gives the psychological appearance that stores are selling far faster than they can apple. A peer pressure effect kind of comes in and makes people want to buy the system. I know it sounds weird, but ever since that shortage on 'Furbies,' this has been a known technique. Really, since we know they've been in production since early September (production video) or possibly even earlier, it doesn't make sense that they wouldn't have a full supply by now. Expect shipments in the upcoming weeks to be loaded with Xbox 360s. I can't deny it though, I'm EXTREMELY pissed I can't have one until later on. Also, avoid any Gamestop store (including Electronic Botiques), they're all full of shit and are telling people February. Those guys are slippery and are forcing the shortage even more than Microsoft. Estimates tell us that Microsoft is losing up to $126 dollars per system (this is how the video game industry works).

It's their system to distribute, clearly it's heading in the same direction in which the original Xbox was heading, there clearly aren't enough system being distributed. It's just common economics.... Supply vs. Demand... Microsoft has the supply, they are just refusing to meet the demand. It's pathetic really, but whatcha gonna do? Well…. that’s a monopoly for you.
