Let's face it, the xbox 360 was too early, and just not powerful enough (compared to the original xbox) for a lot of people to want to upgrade. Not to mention that only a select few of the original Xbox games will work on the 360, or they are at the very least problematic. Then the whole fiasco of overheating, etc.
Everyone I've talked to that either has an Xbox 360 or knows someone who does complains about it.
This one guy I knew was saying that out of all the games he had, only one of them would run for two hours before it locked up. All the other games he had crashed after about 20 minutes of gameplay.

Not at all, I'm saying they may not have manufactured as many as they could have, either purposely or by misjudging the size of the market by a mile.
There are a few precedents for that though, the oil companies about gas supplies in the US for instance. I don't think it's being silly to question shortages as to their nature or source.

Shortage of Xbox customers more like it. One of the oldest marketing ploys to make you want one is, "it's rare", "not many made", "limited edition", "you can't even buy one", too bad it didn't work.
