I don't understand what your complaint is? TFA states that the xbox 360 sales are weak, and you state that you have seen xbox 360s lying around unsold. Consoles lying around unsold would seem to be an effect of poor sales.

"but with fewer than 700,000 units sold so far, gamers appear to be reserving judgment and waiting for Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Revolution, both expected by the end of 2006. "
Perhaps that has more to do with stocking issues than to do with lack of interest. Though I would like to believe that it is because of interest in the Revolution, I hope Nintendo do well this generation, as they continue to innovate, and produce excellent first party titles.

I gave just 5 pounds last year, but I am about to give what I can, what surprised me most was the christmas card I recieved even though i live in the UK. I had completely forgotten since I made my donation in July.
The donation helps keep knowledge free, think just how often you use wikimedia websites.
Do you guys think that the standard Broadband companies, (DSL and cable providers for example) will lobby the US government for any regualtions/restrictions against this new way of providing broadband? This is a serious question, I am unfamiliar with how the broadband system works in america.
"Doctors are easier to recruit for trials because they don't have to go through the same ethics procedures as their Western colleagues," Ecks said. "And patients ask fewer questions about what is going on." I can't tell if he's being serious, but if he truly does have no moral qualms about that last statement, then he frightens me.
Yes, I can honestly claim to give a percentage of my earnings to charity, but since I am in full-time education, and only have a small job to support my student life, the amount is not that much. Whether we can ascribe to my donations anymore value than Mr Gate's donations, is another discussion for another day.
As much as we dislike him, he does give an awful lot of money to charity, so well done Billy. Of course the other argument is that, percentage wise he doesn't actually give that much...
The slashdot member "Ford Prefect" is Adam Foster I think, anyway, give him your love, because it's a fantastic level he's made, and I can't wait for the next installment, bring it on Adam!
I'll buy it, since I'm a huge Nintendo fan. The casual gamer won't be so accomodating. Nintendo needs to build some hype around the system if they want to actually change the video game industry. Right now, even some hardcore Nintendo fans are skeptical.
Nintendo - shooting ourselves in the foot since 1990...

Well Apache might torture people, but IIS is worse!
Excellent comment mate, made me laugh pretty hard, definitely wish I had mod points right now!
That was the sound of disapearing money.
Why has there been no price reduction in the ibooks? Obselete technology should be reduced in price,
The tape companies, obviously.

They could release a double blue-ray disc for the phantom console:
disc1 - Duke Nukem Forever
disc2 - Apology for the root-kit disc 1 just installed
