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.
