US of A get a whopping 1 million Xbox 360 units for launch day.
What does the UK get? 50,000
See the link for how that compares to PSP, DS and Gamecube UK launch figures.
Going to be a lot of disappointed faces on December 2nd.

I remember that. Good times.
Can't remember what games I chose, or what there was to choose from in fact.
EDIT - I remember one now, the utterly God-awful Azurik: Rise of Perathia (had to check IGN to get the full name)

I dunno about that. They were pretty good when the first Xbox dropped 100 about 3 months after launch. Everyone who had bought at the launch price got two free games and a free pad.
Microsoft don't seem to be looking after their international customers do they. They don't even respond to e-mails if you aren't from US (personal experience - they may do, but they didn't for me)
Just like me Microsoft have managed to completly forget about you guys.
Anyway, you're all probably too busy sleeping with your sisters to notice.

What about Wales?
Not getting any 360's are we?

I should think half of that total will go to England, and the rest will be split up between Northern Island and Scotland.
Wonder if the Republic of Ireland will get their own quota...maybe 3?

Probably is. Hope so anyway ! Don't want core systems taking up numbers of our spit size total. ;-)
The Gamestation in Halifax now have a sign up in thr window saying they can still fulfil Core preorders.
I wonder if this figure is in fact for Premium packs only...

Comparison wise thats not so bad - when you consider the amount of states in the U.S and the size of them. Overall they'll be struggling as much as us to buy one.
Of course 50,000 sucks though. I'm pretty confident I should get one though. No doubt the main game retailers will be sorted out first and if you're in the top 10 of that shops list, then you should be ok.
Touch wood !
