Microsoft Says Unsure Now of XBox Launch Quantities | |

As Microsoft Corp. MSFT.O ramps up production of its upcoming XBox video game console this week, game publishers and some analysts have started to question whether the company can make its target for the number of units available for the November launch. Microsoft has previously said it would ship 600,000 to 800,000 consoles when it launches the new system on Nov. 8 in the United States and between 1 million and 1.5 million by year-end. But the software giant will not know how many of its forthcoming XBox consoles it will have available on the much-heralded launch day until production at a plant in Mexico hits full capacity, a spokesman said on Wednesday. "We won't know real, day-one quantities until we're at peak production," said James Bernard, a Microsoft spokesman. "We're really being cautious about our day-one quantities." The XBox is still on track for its Nov. 8 launch, Bernard said, adding hat the company told retailers last week that the console was about to begin production. | ||

| The strange thing is - there is an interview with one of the XBox guys on one website (can't remember which) but it states that they will start production next week and can ship out 150,000 per week from their factory...in other words, they would meet the target. |
