Tekið úr LA TIMES:
LATimes has officially put out its projected reports for Microsoft's upcoming X-Box game console. They have stated that Microsoft will not meet the launch demand exceeding 800k and fall short at 300k, leaving alot of empty buyers to wait until 2002. Further more LATimes reports retail chains in certain cities have already begun plugging Nintendo to receive GCN shipments. A shipment of 630,000 GCN's are going into retail chains worldwide. LATimes comments that this will make up for the “empty space” in stores and ensure everyone gets a product this holliday season.

The GC will launch with 500,000+ sold in USA, and the PS2 will expand its base, while the XBox has barely sold 300,000 by Christmas<br><br>—————————————————————————-
