Current-Gen Price Drop and 360 Shortage
Gamespot is running an article reporting that Activision's Robert Kotick believes that current generation games will drop in price due to the arrival of next-gen consoles. From the article: "Unfortunately for current-generation holdouts, Kotick also said that publishers will quickly shift their development efforts away from today's consoles, which has been the case in the past, when the introduction of the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube games saw PlayStation and Nintendo 64 development plummet." Meanwhile, the retail chain EBGames has announced that it has presold it's allotment of 360 consoles. From the article: "We are currently sold out of our popular Xbox 360 bundles ... Check back frequently for more opportunities to pre-order an Xbox 360."
well I'll be the first to say. I hate you.

Oh hell! And I was thinking to myself how I missed out on Ebaying more DS's when there was a shortage.

the drooling masses will fight each other for the right to be bent over the sales counter and screwed.
WHOAH! This is my chance! I'm gonna quit my boring programming job and apply for a counter job at EB today.
Dude, I win those all the time. They're all like "Click the puppy to win an XBOX 360", and I'm all clicking the puppy. It's just that easy. Why would these people pay $400.00 for an XBOX 360? They must suck at puppy-clicking.

Should they not have been allocated more than 360 consoles? I'd have expected MS to plan on selling more than 7 per state.
