J. Allard Predicts Disappointment at 360 Launch
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."
we don't care what you think of our product. It will suck, yes. We lied to you in what we can provied, we lied, but who gives a shit about it. We make it look so cool, that you will give us your money. And then, we launch the second extended version, and we will get your money again. Ain't that cool. ... flush them, I get 100 more from you tomorrow.
Damn, no toilet paper, I'll just use this 100$ bills here

You guys are all forgetting one thing. The Xbox360 will have a WORLD WIDE RELEASE within weeks of each other!!! No other company has EVER done that with a video game console. The idea and magnitude of doing this is crazy. You guys don't remember how long it took for the PS2 to finally hit US shores, while we were all drooling over it. Microsoft is setting a huge precedence here, whether you want and Xbox360 or a PS3. Do you think that Sony can wait 6 months before releasing in the US? Not a chance. With all these stupid conspiracy theories going around, you guys forget what this means for the industry as a whole. So thank you Microsoft for kicking Sony's butt into high gear so that I can have a PS3 sooner.
