Australian Xbox 360 Launch Delayed?

Posted by David as Gadzooki News

Xbox Today says that the Australian launch of the Xbox 360 might be pushed back three weeks to March 23rd, from March 2nd. Australia is currently one of the last markets still needing to get shipments of the console, and so any further delays might cause some normally Microsoft fans to just up and decide to wait for the Sony PS3 to hit the market.

“Based on launch and production capacity, we are hoping not to have any stock issues, but it is difficult to forecast demand,” said David McLean, director Xbox Australia and New Zealand. Although Australia will be one of the last countries to get the Xbox 360 it is, proportionally, the most successful territory for Microsoft with a market share of 35 to 40 percent, which McLean is keen to extend to beyond 50 percent with the Xbox 360.
