Several websites announced that they sold out on Microsoft's video game console, Xbox 360, which is was available for preordering at Wal-Mart and Amazon.

Wal-Mart said that people who want their Xbox 360 must go to the stores the night of 22 November, when the official launch of the console takes place is USA. Amazon says that Xbox is not available anymore for order from their site in USA and UK. On eBay the bids reached 4,100 USD for an Xbox 360 with 20 games.

Microsoft invested huge amounts of money in the new gaming console and plans to push it to the top of the market. The company hopes to attract more users besides gamers with the console's new features such as MP3 player, DVD player and the ability to connect to a home PC.

However, the main concern of Microsoft should be the production and distribution of Xbox 360 consoles, in order to cover the market demands.
