That may be the way it is in canada, but in north america in general (or maybe it was just the US), Xbox was selling better than NGC for awhile, and NGC just recently started to pull ahead (in weekly sales, not overall...) by a little bit... Basically, if people are considering Xbox to be "selling bad", then NGC isn't either

I might have said that already but still

Or also it coulda just been that one store... I remember Justin was working at a software etc. before Xmas and he was talking about how they have a ton of PS2s and they're not selling and blah blah blah... and even around here they had a ton of PS2s stacked up everywhere... but it doesn't look like PS2 was selling bad, does it?

Tru dat... but around Xmas time Ps2 was selling fast there too

Damn I miss working there

*looksa a all the free time on schedule*

Damn I hated working there

No one anwsered my question.

No one cares about me.

*hopes crying will get people to answer his questions or at least direct him to a site where he can get such answers instead of asking the same stupid question all the time*

When talking to retailers about console sales, always take it with a grain of salt. I remember when I was looking at what console to buy, I went to FYE (For Your Entertainment) which used to be a big music chain I believe. Anyway, the guy there told me that the XBox wasn't even as powerful as the PS2 and that retailers wouldn't be able to get you one until January or February (this was in November) because Microsoft wasn't going to be able to produce them very quickly. I was bummed.

The I went to EB and they told me that the XBox was more powerful and that they would be getting in fresh XBox's in a semi-daily basis.

When I asked the EB guy about what the FYE manager said, he told me that FYE just didn't have a good relationship with MS, they wouldn't be getting many XBox's and that they were trying to push the PS2, which they had plenty.

Moral: Don't believe a friggin word retailers tell you.

Well peoples were right about the PS2 price drop being "Tomorrow" (as in Tuesday after the news was posted on Monday), maybe they're right about the Xbox one... Sony drops their price to 200 and MS counters a day later with the same price drop

"The price of the system will reportedly be cut to $199, though Microsoft officials were unavailable for comment as of press time. Check back Wednesday for more details."
