Following tremendous sales performances for the mega-popular Halo 3 title, which pushed the Xbox 360 console sales significantly in its launch week, Microsoft is now focusing on promoting its games console for the peak holiday season, leading to a surge in OEM orders.
Lite-ON has allocated production capacity to output one million Xbox 360 DVD-ROM drives a month. The company is the third OEM maker of DVD-ROM drives for the Xbox 360, having started shipments in June-July, initially with a volume of 300k - 500k per month. Shipments in September were close to 1 million drives.
