Microsoft is planning to boost shipments of its Xbox 360 games console by two to three times this week in order to meet shortages being faced by the games industry, TechWeb reports.
In the first week of release, Xboxes were being whisked off the shelves at a rate of one every 13 seconds! Ebayers (as always) were quick to cash in on this shortage, at one stage selling consoles intended for retail from $299 (£209) depending on model, for an average of $718.

Microsoft is also planning to expand its games portfolio, with 80 new titles scheduled to be available by June.
