Xbox sales remain high

**PROUDXBOXOWNER** · 05-13-2002

XBOX sales have kept momentum in the second week since the price drop from $649 to $399. Figures from market research firm Inform show retailers sold 6997 Xbox consoles last week, compared with 3566 PlayStation 2 consoles. Xbox sales were down from 12,681 the previous week, when the price cut took effect.

But before the price cut, retailers were selling just 1500 Xbox consoles each week. Xbox is now $100 cheaper than the PS2 but $70 more expensive than Nintendo's GameCube, due to launch next week. Inform research manager Phil Burnham said the price drop had "definitely" paid off for Microsoft.

three cheers for m$ hip hip hurray!

Well price drops will boost anyones console numbers.
I think my MS doing to this soon shows some weakness in their sales.
I mean, my beloved Dreamcast didnt drop it's price this soon when it first came out.
This has got to be a record for a new console to drop in price soooo soon!

If MS would just buy eXclusive 3rd party games for Xbox they would not have anything to worry about.

I dont look at the drop in price as something exciting, it's more of giving in to the pressure to sell systems if you ask me.

That is great news!

And I don't think he is spamming...all of his posts (unless I have missed some) have been of high quality. I.E. Cool news, well written, etc. Keep up the good work!

I think he just took his daily dose of XBA posting machine pills!

But as long as he's posting worthwhile threads and post I have no problems. But if it's just for da sake of posting then we have a problem Houston!

Yeah, I agree, but he does have to lay off the exclamation marks.
