Kevin Bachus Talks Next-Gen Console Wars

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the finally-a-real-fight dept.

conq writes "In a piece on BusinessWeek, former Microsoft exex Kevin Bachus, who was part of the team who pitched the XBox to Bill Gates gives his opinion on the Microsoft/Sony gaming war: '...I believe that regardless of who comes out on top this time, the margin will be the closest it's been since the heady days of Nintendo and Sega. And as always, the winners will be the consumers and the publishers.'"

    Is the guy from the Phantom console scam?

      Yeah. Same guy. He left Microsoft for Infenium Labs, and then left them three months later.

    And there are 360 sitting unsold on store shelves in every major US retailer for over a month now.

    Someone send those unsold consoles down here to San Antonio so we can get all the customers off our backs! Every major and minor retailer here hasn't been able to keep them in stock more than a day. We got 18 of them the other day and sold out within 4 hours. I'm wondering if that 190K number is because the areas that need more consoles don't have them and the ones that have them in abundance have already sold to all the customers that wanted them.
