The shelves of my local Wal-Mart where an Xbox 360 ought to go are barren right now, but that may soon change.
Microsoft, the creator of the first next-gen console, is reporting its production will increase “two to three times” in the very near future. It seems the component shortage that’s plagued the console since its November launch is going away and the third hired-on manufacturer, Celestica, is up and running with 360 production.
The timing on the increase coincides with the Australian launch, which means the console is now available in most major markets the world over. The gaming console has gone live in most continents now and demand is high in most locations.
The production increase is very good news for gamers who have been patiently (or not so) awaiting the console’s arrival. And now with a promised 80-plus titles for the console, choices for players are pretty darn amazing.
