Re: [CGUYS] Just How Badly is MS Selling?
Another thing is that the X-Box had been selling for awhile and the people buying Wii already have an X-Box and don't need another. Japan is very tech trendy. They throw out perfectly good equipment to get the next newest thing. One of the better uses for an X-Box is as a server for HDTV plus wasn't their HD-DVD drive relatively cheap compared to a stand alone. FWIW Hasn't Todd McFarlane stopped creating comics? He was busy running his toy company. After Image fell out of my radar I haven't heard much out of him. Spawn is being done by someone else. Of course telling him to stop isn't such a bad thing either. I haven't liked much he has done since Infinity Inc and Spider-Man. On 7/2/07, mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In *japan* ??

Re: [CGUYS] Just How Badly is MS Selling?
It is not just the Xbox that is not selling try the Playstation 3 which is not selling. The WII is a dark horse. It did not come out with bigger and better graphics or more wow factor other than the wireless game controller that you use actions to do things with. It is being sold out every shipment it gets in at stores, as it has become so popular for that very feature. I would love to get one and I do not normally buy game consoles!!!

Re: [CGUYS] Just How Badly is MS Selling?
The Japanese numbers are typically bellweather numbers. These units sell earlier and sometimes in greater numbers than they do here. But to reaffirm the numbers from Tom. I read an article that showed both the Xbox and the Playstation 3 are selling way below projected numbers here in the US. Except for the initial surge on the PS3 it has not been well received. On the other hand the WII has been a sell out ever since it was introduced. They cannot keep it in stock and are looking at it still not being in great numbers until after Christmas as they simply cannot keep up with demand! I read this in an article discussing the IPhone no less. Stewart At 01:28 PM 7/2/2007, you wrote: In *japan* ?? Next you'll tell me manga sells batter in Japan...say it ain't so!

Re: [CGUYS] Just How Badly is MS Selling?
And the Wii just came out 6 months ago or so and the Xbox 360 has been selling for what, almost 2 years? Next, Tom will be telling us that 2007 calendars are outselling 2005 calendars in Latvia. Still, that Xbox is a money loser for MS is not news. I hear that the Wii might come out with a lightsaber game. THAT will be cool. -Original Message- In *japan* ??
