Microsoft Abandons 360 Sale Target

Posted by Zonk on Monday January 9, 2006 @03:50AM from the can't-keep-up dept.

Next Generation is reporting that Microsoft has, reluctantly, admitted they won't hit their 90 day sales target for the Xbox 360. From the article: "In a report in today's Financial Times, the company shifted its attention to the longer-term target outlined at CES last week. The firm now says it will hit sales of 4 million to 5.5 million by the end of its financial year, in June. Analysts believe sales of the console had hit around 1.3 million by the end of the Holiday sales period. But as January moves along, retailers have yet to see evidence of shortages easing."

Actually, the PS2 sold 510,000 units on the first DAY in America. Even the Dreamcast sold more than 200,000 on the first day. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playstation_2#Sales_R ecord
