It's Christmas and it's war. The battle to be the season's best-selling hi-tech stocking-filler is raging as fiercely as in any year, but this time it isn't just the kids whose opinions matter. The scrambles for Buzz Lightyear and then Pokémon were mere skirmishes compared to what retailers now have on their hands: a fight to the death between the video games consoles. | ||

"and Microsoft its Xbox, a device on which the world's biggest software company has pinned all its hopes. "
I guess that Sony is not pinning "all its hopes" on PS2? |

| Yeah, Sony can't really afford to lose much money. For all the strength of their brandname, their profit margin is fairly slim. |

"pin all its hopes on the XBox"
DOES NOT EQUAL msft lost $60M per month on the whole Xbox division, but overall they made $1,300M in profit each of those months. Overall the article is pretty fair. Its amazing to see a vast majority of journalists stating thing like "All is not quite so well with Nintendo. The Japanese company is reeling" and "This Christmas is something of a last chance for Nintendo." PREDICTION: both XBox and GC sales will continue to increase at their current high pace... and PS2 sales can't help but slow. And how will the media describe the situation? Simple, they'll say that the games market, overall, is slowing. Yawn, they never get it right. This post was edited by mooresa56 on Sunday, December 08, 2002 at 18:06. |
