Shares in various hardware and software companies related to the Microsoft Corp.'s MSFT.O Xbox video game console were mostly lower on Friday, a day after the software giant said it would miss its fiscal 2002 shipment targets by as much as 40 percent because of weak sales in Europe and Japan.
A number of companies who supply games, hardware and manufacturing services were down on the news, most notably Nvidia, which makes the graphics chip for the console.
