Quall999 is on a distinguished road
Only about half of the the total xbox's at launch were given to the USA. Which was around 400k...The US probably had more than a million pre-orders. AND that is pre-orders, not includiung people that just buy off the shelves. Most shops were only getting 15 or so total units out of 50-100 pre-orders. That is a lot of disappointed people.

The thing is in a very high demand over here. Even last week people were lined up over night to get one. MS simply didn't make anough units for the country. The only reason I got a hold of one was due to the fact that Costco requires a membership card and I got their very early. Our Gamestop's and EBGames' won't even sell out to the pre-orderer's completely until february.
