J. Allard Predicts Disappointment at 360 Launch

Posted by Zonk on Monday October 10, 2005 @09:10AM from the inevitable dept.

Eurogamer has an interview with J. Allard about the 360's imminent launch. Among other things, he admits that some people will be let down by the console supplies when it goes retail in Europe. From the article: "We decided we're going to take a little bit of heat on allocations, frankly, in all the territories rather than take a lot of heat in one or two territories. So, we're not saying Europe comes four months later, we're saying Europe comes now, but with that combining it with the physics properties of the silicon means we're going to have some disappointment in terms of what we can provide to retail and ultimately to the consumers this year, but that's okay, because we want to get the market started. We want to get started on a worldwide basis, we want to do the right thing for gamers, for our publishers and for consumers."

Saying "I think" is redundant. If you hate "I, for one", you probaby can't like that too much either. Maybe you were making a joke?

Explain to me what is in my comment that warranted a 'Troll' moderation?

Morrowind was one of my favorite games ever, but it's no secret that both the PC and Xbox versions crashed frequently.
