Xbox VP Peter Moore has told the Official UK Xbox Magazine that there will likely be a shortage of Xbox 360s for tomorrow's European launch due to the overwhelming demand for the new console. With an estimated availability of only 300,000 initial units for our transatlantic friends, this is hardly surprising. What would be surprising is if Moore backed up Microsoft's commitment to encourage fair retailing by fending off the more unruly consumers with some of that kung fu he's always demonstrating.
Moore has already debunked the shortage conspiracies and confirmed that Microsoft's goal is to "roll inventory in every week from the factories" via planes and boats. What about all that teleportation research Microsoft was conducting a few years back, Pete?
