how many x360 can they produce in a day?
if they can even produce 10k x360 A DAY for 90 days, that's only 900k units. they will need to produce 3x more just to make the 3 million.
It could be potentially something of an issue, although Microsoft stated that they were already stockpiling certain components even during E3. The biggest issue isn't how many units can be done @ a manufacturing facility. Sony has the capability to do 3M a month during the height of PS2 availability. I'm sure that Microsoft's contracted facility can also crank out serious numbers.
The issue with the yields and production capability of IBM for the CPU, the GPU, and, in a pinch, other components as well that go in and out of availability from time to time like Memory & 2.5" hard drives.
It'll be pretty funny if there's any sort of memory issue for DDR3 memory competition between Microsoft & Sony. I doubt they've ever produced anywhere near that volume of memory before, ever.
