Nearly three months after launch, Microsoft's Peter Moore is saying that the Xbox 360 shortages are coming to an end. Moore's comments came at the DICE Summit in Las Vegas, which kicked off last week. Moore said that "Within the next four to six weeks, anybody will be able to walk into a store and buy an Xbox 360."
