Lite-ON IT has reportedly gotten more orders from Microsoft Corp. for DVD-ROM drives used in the Xbox 360 games console. In response, the company has given top priority to Microsoft, allocating its total production capacity for the optical disc reader drives, according to sources from the ODD components industry in Taiwan. Lite-ON's policy is to not comment on any reports about its 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.
