Hmmm.... The stock market is cruel... it can make or break a millionaire within minutes.
I wouldn't imagine Microsoft have too much to worry about. Most parents realise that if their a little short or a little better off they'll still get their kid the present they want.
I would have thought most parents would buy gamecubes anyway... they're cheaper and they haven't lost much more than 2 weeks on the X-Box.
Having said that, the X-Box's will sell and the change in the stock market wont matter tha much... especially to less effected families like those with 2-3 children.

Will the money be there to buy the XBox though? The world economy looks like it's about to spiral back into a recession, especially in view of the large slump in the stock market today in the UK which was a follow through from the collapse in the Dow Jones this weekend.
This means, in short, that parents just aren't going to have as much money to spend as usual over the coming months, so unless they've already pre-paid, they might now be thinking twice about spending $500 on a bundle or $349 on an XBox with one game.
Looks to me that XBox has been a little unlucky with its launch timing.
