Walk-Ins Get 360 In April?

Posted by Zonk on from the truly-ensaddening dept.

IGN has a piece talking to retail stores across the country about the upcoming 360 launch, and it doesn't look good. From the article: "According to retailers in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Miami and Houston, there will be mass shortage of Xbox 360 units on the targeted launch date of November 22. IGN contacted dozens of stores around the country, including Gamestop, EB Games, Electronics Boutique, Target and Walmart. One short-tempered clerk at a Gamestop in New York estimated that Xbox 360 units will not be available for walk-in customers until April. That's right, April."

    Perhaps we should stop comparing this to the Dreamcast and start comparing it to the Saturn.

    I think we should be comparing less to Saturn it more to what comes from Uranus.

    Do we actually get any numbers? How many Units will the stores get, how many have been preorderd, what is to be expected?
    As long as I don't have any real numbers, I'll just take it as artificial hype.
