Gamestop Reports Loss, 360 Shortages

Gamasutra reports that gaming retail powerhouse Gamestop has reported a slow third quarter, largely based on few big named titles during that period of time. The article also mentioned their frustrations with the 360's limited production so far. From the article: "There is no question that both the core gamer and gift giver are very enthusiastic about this great product. In fact, our attach ratio of games and accessories to date has never been higher for any release in GameStop's history. Our only concern is that the total hardware released to date in the U.S., and to GameStop, are far less than we had anticipated. While we expect to be supplied throughout the holiday season, the exact quantities to be shipped are not yet clear."

Does this really matters?

i may be too old for this, or i could simply disable the games section - not an option, i am still interested in games, thus i am also not too old. but i would propose to put 360 related stories in a new category, ads. which i can disable. :)

i am sorry, but this is slashdot, heeeeeellllllooooo. this should be anti-ms, not adding to their marketing buzz.

i have to ask, does anyone still care?

realworld karma is a totally different topic though, tell those moderators to mod me up :)
