Microsoft must not be shipping as many consoles as Sony, then, since
the Playstation 3 is handily outselling the Xbox 360 in the United
Kingdom.

here is an example of the plain lies that MS are telling.

The only consoles in short supply are the Wii and the DS.

Everything else has stacks and stacks available.
My local Asda (part of Wal-Mart) had a pile of boxed 360s 6ft high
last night, and Argos, a major UK Retailer has plenty:

Game, HMV, Currys.Digital, amazon.co.uk, Play.com, www.shopto.com etc
are all showing plentiful stock.

M$ just want to create FUD just to make people panick by like they are
the Wii.


Oh dear. When is RMZ going to shout about M$ corperate lies?!
