It has just come out and the reviews seem pretty positive. Lots of people were waiting in line down here at Wal-Mart to get a shot at it. Let's see if MSFT can keep up with the demand. There seems to be gripes that people had to buy the $300 version instead of the $400 one. it seems that the add on kits will be pretty good sellers as well this Christmas. Lets hope that Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's Entertainment & Devices division isn't just blowing smoke:
Microsoft's Bach repeated the software giant's plan to deliver up to 3 million consoles to consumers in the first 90 days.
Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter estimated that 900,000 Xbox 360s are now available. He expects 450,000 to be shipped in the United States, 300,000 to be shipped to Europe and 150,000 to be held back for restocking this weekend.
That means a third will soon be sold. That means MSFT will soon rake in $315 million in revenue. I'm wondering what the final installed system tally will be when the PS3 comes out.
