All I can say is "duh" No one expected a new redesigned model to not give a spike in sales.

well that might be true I remember threads going around here where people were saying that the PS3 would catch the 360 by the end of 2010. LOL, I guess I was right back then when I told them this would happen and they said " RUMORS " lol unreal gotta love it.

ROFL everyone is just replacing their old 360's... no one is buying this that doesn't already have one. The unprecedented demand is the 40 million people who want a slightly quieter, slightly more reliable, slightly not giant brick console that sounds slightly less like a 747 powering up... with wi-fi. So sad.stiggy321

Although what you said does sound a tad "fanboyish" you are actually correct. Most people are simply selling one to get the other.

I'd upgrade to a 60GB. The 20GB is so limited unless you don't download demos, movies, etc...

It wasn't all that bad for me at all, only time I wouldn't have much space is when I'd install a game. And even then I'd have 1GB left.

From what I've been told by people at Best Buy, MS shipped out a very low amount of units for the sole reason of them saying the demand is so high and making it appear as if they re extremely hard to get to increase the publics interest in it

ocstew

so it's a conspiracy?,not many people are going to believe that one mate.

Exactly, why would they piss off customers and lose sales just for the sole purpose of saying that they have high demand?

Nintendo did this at the Wii's launch and it worked well for them.

Just saying companies do do this.
