[Pc_Support] Surprise! XBox 360 shortage! I don't expect even byChristmas ...

[Damien McKenna]

It's a marketing tactic.  Promote the heck out of it, announce close to
the launch date that you there will be limited numbers of the product
available for sale therefore stores will be able to sell them at a
premium, thus also continuing the hype surrounding the product - it
feeds right into the "you get what you pay for" mantra.  Of course it
didn't work in the SNK Neo Geo days, but those were different days.
Interestingly enough, both the game console prices are approaching the
NeoGeo's and also the game are starting to get there too (NeoGeo games
were over $100 each as they were literally the same games used in the
larger arcade machine systems).
