Artificial shortage: It is possible, but I doubt it now... the sheer scale of the shortage makes me question it. I mean, if they were somewhat hard to find... yeah. But this hard? Does it really help MS to have them just sell 320,000 units in month one, when people can look and see that the original Xbox sold over 500,000 in month one? I don't think so...
MS compared to Sega... the money says no. :) That is, Microsoft's money, versus Sega's distinct lack of it...
