A report by DigiTimes today claimed that two extra assemblers, Pegatron and Unihan, have been brought under Microsoft’s wing, a move that could see a combined total of 500,000 Xbox 360s churned out each month by the producers' Chinese factories.
Singapore-based Flextronics is currently the only known manufacturer of Microsoft’s console. In the past, it was working alongside Taiwan's Wistron, but DigiTimes alleges that supplier pulled out of Xbox 360 production because the margins were too thin. If they are, that doesn't appear to be bothering Pegatron or Unihan.
Microsoft is currently enjoying a boom in Xbox 360 sales in Europe, thanks to its recent decision to cut the console’s price over here. According to analyst Chart-Track, sales of the console rose 35-40 per cent last week after the cut came into effect
