Microsoft Europe boss Chris Lewis has pledged that when it comes to the 360, there will be "no shortages anywhere in the region over Christmas."

With the next-gen war getting more intense and passionate, fans are really starting to take sides, Microsoft has made a commitment not to have a repeat of last year's launch shortage.

Lewis made his comments during an interview at last week's Leipzig Games Convention. When he was asked if they were going to have enough consoles to meet the demand this coming season he said, "I'm very confident that we have the production capacity to suit our ambitions. And there will be no stock shortages anywhere in the region over this Christmas period, I can assure you of that."
