Xbox 2 to Release in Fall of This Year
GamesIndustry.biz has the news that the Xbox 2 will be launched sometime in late fall of this year. With EA games already working on Xbox 2 titles and rumors of a name for the console in circulation, it looks like the first of the next-gen consoles will be here soon. From the article: "Many have expressed concern that Microsoft is forcing the next generation of console hardware too early, and that the current generation still has much to achieve. The most famous example of this came from then Nintendo of Europe MD David Gosen speaking at an ELSPA summit in London last October, where he lambasted Microsoft for pushing a next generation machine to market in 2005, and even went so far as to question Microsoft's motivation as profit." Additionally, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has Balmer saying that they will "blow by Sony" with their next console.
And what's the best way to raise the stock price?
Yep, you guessed it: Profit!
Not very familiar with the stock market are you? If I were trying to raise the stock price of a company, I would report disappointing financial results (I'd make them up if I had to). Often as not that is the key to a nice price run up.
The stock market is not a rational actor. It is a skittish herd. The trick is to spook it just right so everyone runs them the way you want them to.
Look at yourself you pathetic little faggot.
You are crying about hype four years after the piece of shit Dreamcast took a dirt nap.
Sniveling fucks like you make Amiga freaks look...
