Some Europeans may be disappointed this Christmas

Although American customers are receiving new 360 shipments, we in Europe may not be so lucky. In an interview with the UK's Official Xbox Magazine, Peter Moore, the worldwide head of marketing for Microsoft, has revealed that the overwhelming demand for 360s may mean that European customers are left out in the cold. However, Microsoft are doing all they can to meet demand:

"Our goal is to make as many consoles as we can. We’ve got two factories working 24 hours a day. We’ve got air freight running as well as boats, because you can get more units on boats. All we can do is make them as fast as we can and ship them as fast as we can.”

There's no word as to which countries may be seeing Christmas disappointment, although some are better than others if you want to see a 360 any time soon. If you've preordered, it may be worth contacting your stockist as some European preorder customers have already received their consoles.
