Some dumbass GC fanboy posted that the Xbox is not coming out until mid 2002 and that stores were taking down their promotional stuff. I know that he's a dumbass GC fanboy, but is there any truth in this?

Don¡¦t believe any of it. They are just trying to put doubt into your head.

There is only a partial truth to this.....

Back when the PS2 launch occurred, Sony was trying it's hardest to push every single PS2 that they could on their customers. According to a large number of retailers, Sony was threatening retailers with reduced PS2 shipments if they continued to put X-Box related materials, ads and literature in their stores & on display. This is the ONLY reason retailers took down the X-Box marketing material.

The Xbox delayed? Tell that to the all of the game retailers here. Every store has got their Xbox displays up and are taking pre-orders.
