Microsoft Reveals 360 Shortage Reason
Matt writes "In a recent interview Steve Ballmer has been quoted as saying that the shortages everyone is experiencing are simply down to lack of chips because of low yields - they even considered delaying the launch because of it. In the end they decided to push on and just try and get as many consoles out there as possible." From the article: "Repeating the company's official line on the shortage crisis, which is now threatening to entirely undo Microsoft's attempts to win the next generation war, Ballmer said, 'We are making more. All stores are getting new units each week. Can we make as many as people want? The answer is no, but not because we don't want to.'"
The picture of Ballmer in that article is priceless: all he needs is a shiny helmet and a big picture of the Bill "Our Undying Leader" Gates projected on the screen behind him. :)
That and electricity arcing between his outstretched hands as he creepily intones "De. Velop. Ers."
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.

Yes, that's right. We all rely on Microsoft and Intel for serious business. IBM is just for games.
