Xbox 360 Sales "Lackluster", Xbox "All But Abandoned"
Quote:
Wedbush Morgan Securities game industry honcho Michael Patcher says that the %57 drop in Xbox sales (ouch) indicates that "the console has been all but abandoned in favor of the next generation Xbox 360." No real surprise there, as not even Microsoft themselves have any software titles scheduled for the old black box.
But what is a little more surprising is that "the xbox 360's installed base is still smaller than the original xbox's equivelant after the same number of months of sell-through. Xbox 360 sales are even more lacklustre if you consider that the original was an unproven product that was trying to sell-in against the hugely popular PS2." That's according to Deutsche Bank analyst Jeetil Patel, who also notes that the 360 is selliing at a much slower rate than the PS2 was during the same time frame.
