Game Sales Jump, Despite Xbox Slump
,----[ 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.

The XBox 360 has accumulated losses that must be approaching 10 billion

business aspects) in order to hide/mitigate the impact. Also see:
