Xbox 360 shortage will soon be over

In his keynote speech at the DICE 2006 conference in Las Vegas, Microsoft's Peter Moore said Xbox 360 shortages should soon be over, saying: "You should be able to walk into a store in the next four to six weeks and see [Xbox 360] hardware on shelves." reports GameSpot.



Moore's real regret, however--which he repeated over and over again throughout his address--was that Microsoft has been neglecting the PC as a gaming platform. "I want to apologize for the dereliction of duty to our company's number-one platform, the PC, in terms of gaming," he told a crowd still recovering from the previous evening's award ceremony. "We've been a little distracted for the past few years," he said, referring to the company's drive to release the Xbox 360. "Mea culpa, we've been busy."



Comment: Well, Microsoft is going to try to establish Vista as a games platform ... and one where the PC works in conjunction with both the Xbox 360 and Windows Mobile phones.
