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."

now hold on a second. You are talking trash about zork and articles he puts up. Thinking baout all the good he does. He shows us that any one can be a CEO as long as they have such insightful comments like "Old games are cheap". Zork brings us hope. Be grateful.
