Xbox 360 slim getting “unprecedented demand”
Microsoft is claiming that their new Xbox 360 Slim is getting some “unprecedent demand.” It’s not all that hard to believe considering that merely hours after if it was officially unveiled, it was already reigning on the top of the Amazon’s pre-order list.
Microsoft is claiming that their new Xbox 360 Slim is getting some “unprecedent demand.” It’s not all that hard to believe considering that merely hours after if it was officially unveiled, it was already reigning on the top of the Amazon’s pre-order list.
In a statement released by the company, they happily reported that “…we are hearing great feedback from retailers that the new Xbox 360 250GB is experiencing unprecedented demand.”
They also said that based on internal data, “Strong demand for the new Xbox 360 250GB combined with a US$ 50 price redution in the U.S. on the Xbox 360 Arcade and Elite consoles, now US$ 149.99 and US$ 249.99 respectively, has resulted in a significant salse spike for Xbox 360 since the new console hit shelves on or around June 14.”
Following the lackluster numbers that reflected on the May results of NPD, we reckon that Microsoft is hoping the statistics will be much better for this month of June.
