Things just continue to go from bad to worse for everyone's favourite enemy, Microsoft (no, not El Busho, although....)
In Japan, it turns out the X-Box is being outsold by a factor of 48 by the Playstation 2. Yes - for every X-Box sold, 48 Playstation2's find happy homes.
It could have something to do with 100 crappy X-box games versus over 6,000 half-decent Playstation 2 games.
According to Microsoft, "It's too late to be number 1 with this console"....
Hmm.
Shall we take a trip down memory lane when they launched in Japan and said "We're going to take Japan by storm with this console. We're going to be #1."
When they drop the price to $99 for Christmas this year (which they will), then I might lower myself to buying one. The basement room gets quite chilly in the winter and an XBox would heat it up quite nicely. It's cheaper than a floor heater, and it plays - well - runs what could be loosely described as "games" too. Plus, by that point, Microsoft will be losing a gut-choking $429 on every unit they sell. Oh the sweet sweet sound of irony.
