MSN: [We] X360 won
Get out of here even if for just one moment you thought Microsoft wouldn’t say anything regarding console launches from rival companies. Of course they would say something, and what better way to do it than with a Microsoft-owned MSN article. While the article didn’t mention specifics, the X360 came out as the victor during the earlier stages of the war.
“Retailers had a great four-day run and pretty much everything is gone. Sony dropped the ball and Nintendo didn’t do that much better,” the MSN article mentioned.The article then continued, “Retailers and analysts across North America confirm that the hottest selling gaming console this past weekend was the Xbox 360.”
It seems that the article was based from the reports that there have been an apparent lack of Wii and PS3 stocks because of very high demands. “Microsoft was the big winner. They had lots of systems and they had them priced right with game bundles that gamers were interested in,” the article concluded.
To be quite frank, claims without details and from-the-same-corporation do not sound and smell quite good. If it turned out to be true, then kudos to Microsoft and its one year old next-gen console. But until Nintendo and Sony come up with official statements or until the Holiday is over (and statistics will start to pour), it is better to keep our opinions to ourselves...for now.
