and you state that you have seen xbox 360s lying around unsold.
Nope, I didn't say that. Sorry for not spelling that out better. I was taking the exact opposite position.
Yes, 360s are becoming more available now, but this is a big change, even from two weeks ago, and certainly from whenever that 700,000 figure used in TFA came from.
From TFA: Microsoft made the first move with the Xbox 360 three months ago, 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.
Raise your hand if you've seen unsold 360's lying around unsold at your local retailer.
This kind of misinformation leads me to question the impartiality of the whole article.

Going into space is risky. The only way to make it 100% safe is to not do it. Personally, I don't think that's the right way to go.
