Whilst looking for a little 'bedtime reading' yesterday i found this news article on the net:

Microsoft's much-hailed Xbox has seen its video games slide off the US Top 20 best-sellers ladder despite a massive marketing campaign.
In March, the group saw six of its Xbox games in the US Top 20 with two in the top ten.

But by April, both these games had slipped off the scale, leaving the company with just two on the board - in 19th and 20th places.

Microsoft has already slashed the price of the Xbox console worldwide after poor global sales, but it has also now cut fiscal-year shipments forecasts by 40 per cent.

An interesting read i hope you'll agree. I hope the Xbox doesn't fail, but with every day i'm fearing it will.

Dont take everything at face value I reckon it will find its market share because in america is doing great and in europe its doing fine btw Japan isn't the biggest market in the world you know. You can tell by the amount of tripe (dating game anyone) that gets released over there but doesn't get released over here...

THANK GOD

I think its only a matter of time before the Xbox dies. All the good games coming out are just PS2 copies anyway. Most manufacturers cant be bothered to develop the game any differently for the Xbox...
