Title: Possible X-BOX DELAY...READ THIS
Post by: kirath on August 14, 2001, 08:46:29 AM: X-BauX might have a DELAY (http://cbs.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7B11CBFCC7%2D7880%2D412D%2DA469%2DE9F17A79CC4A%7D&siteid=mktw)

Damn thats just not good..

As a result, the number of units available when the game box gets its launch Nov. 8 will be far less than Microsoft had been expecting, said David Readerman, analyst with Thomas Weisel Partners LLC in San Francisco.

Looks like MS is going to have a worse time then the PSX2 did....

Going to be interesting in the next couple months to see what happens..

Post by: CygnusXI on August 14, 2001, 11:40:22 AM: Well, they wanted 800,000 at launch. So if they can only make 500,000 it still would be just as good as the PS2 launch.

......Except people bought the PS2...:D ;)

Post by: Living-In-Clip on August 14, 2001, 01:18:03 PM: A month delay? This could be actually better for MS. It means they won\'t go head to head with Nintendo and brings them even closer to the holiday shoppers. Will it be good? I truly doubt it. I just like to think on the bright side of things.

Post by: datamage on August 14, 2001, 02:29:57 PM: I personally don\'t care whether it\'s delayed or not, but here\'s an official statement from a M$ rep. (taken from voodooextreme.com)

We\'re not commenting on specific Xbox manufacturing efforts, but we can say that there is absolutely no problem with the design of Intel\'s motherboard. Intel has been a fantastic partner and has delievered on everything for Xbox to date. We\'re still marching toward our planned November 8 launch date for Xbox.

I agree everyone is talking this like is has come from xbox.com. Or some ms news report. This is just what some analyst thinks nothing more. How many ppl bothered to read the article because I think you guys missed this part........

James Bernard, a Microsoft spokesman, disputed the report. While he wouldn\'t comment about any possible manufacturing hang-ups, Bernard said that Microsoft will ship the number of Xbox game consoles it initially expected on time, as planned.

Post by: EmperorRob on August 15, 2001, 05:56:57 AM: Typical Microsoft strategy. Release it and who cares if it works. It was made by us and people will buy it because of that.

Rumors Do hurt people. When you assume or predict something, you make an a** out of yourself. I guess this should be taken as a rumor. Sorry for acting a bit harsh...
