Wait, what were we talking about?

The system was made available in November of 2001 and ceased production in November of 2005--four years--but my guess is that the retail channel still had stock that was sold off over the next year. Her statement could be correct if those remaining units had not sold through for another year, which is probable.

$500 360?

We've succeeded in catching up to the point where we came in a distant second to Sony last generation.
Maybe, if we try really hard, we can reach 33 million, which would still make it an utter failure.
Mind you, I'm not trying to bring down Microsoft, and I congratulate them on their success.
But, maybe, just maybe, they should celebrate when they do something significant? If Sony announced next week that they had managed to surpass lifetime Gamecube or Xbox sales with the Ps3, I'd make the same sarcastic remark.

Remember Bill Gates forcast that the Xbox division would take over 3 complete console gens and 8 billion dollars in losses before they finally had any sort of foothold. And no one thought they would be matching Sony this early on.
@EnigmaNemesis:Everyone learned the painful lesson that Sony had to. Expect the next gen of consoles to not be priced above $400 and that would be for the all in one unit. It may be possible next gen that we see $299 units across the board mostly.
@Cunder:You mean people are that..silly? You know that after the 2nd or in some cases, the 1st repair, they send you a brand new unit, right?
@Shooter McGavin:So we can say the same for all of the folks like me who went though 4 to 8 PS2's due to DRE right? Or the many folks who went though 3-4 PSones due to the laser going out of alignment.

So in other words, if they're willing to provide the stellar support that goes with SaS, then sure I'm down. Otherwise fuck off and die.

I mean a subscription based GTA? What is that an MMO then? so just call it an MMO. If they'd announced a Bioshock or GTA MMO people would like it!
It they're thinking of episodic GTA's or Bioshocks though?
Blergh
