Microsoft To Miss XBox 360 Production Targets By As Much As 25%
,----[ Quote ]
| Colin Sebastian at Lazard Capital Markets has warned
| that he expects Microsoft's XBox 360 shipments to only
| total 4.5 million for the year, instead of the 5
| million expected. That says to me that the XBox 360
| marketing plan is fading fast... Suddenly, that one-year
| lead Microsoft had on Sony doesn't look like such
| a big advantage after all.

,----[ Quote ]
| Regardless of what happens this holiday season, August represented yet
| another month of disappointing sales for Microsoft's Xbox 360. Pachter
| for one had predicted that the company would sell between 200,000 and
| 300,000 consoles last month, but the sales came in at the bottom of
| that range, according to the NPD data he cited.
