The Xbox and Microsoft can never seem to get a break. Earlier today, Cirrus Logic Inc., one of the manufacturers of Xbox chips, warned of a revenue shortfall from lower than expected Xbox production. As a result, shares in other companies (Nvidia, Flextronics, and Solectron Corp) which also deal with aspects of the Xbox hardware, have taken a hit.
Investment firms however, do not think the Cirrus warning had any implication for Xbox sales, saying the shortfall probably came before Microsoft cut its sales estimates for the console in April.

But Thomas Weisel Partners analyst Eric Gomberg was more downbeat on the implications for Cirrus.

"In our opinion, given the magnitude of the shortfall, and the fact that Cirrus had already guided that Xbox-related revenues would decline sequentially in (the first quarter), it appears that Xbox related production has been virtually nonexistent in the past four weeks," he said.


Can it get any worse?

Probably, just think, Watchdog/pstwo/rastalant will somehow turn this into a good thing, therefore reigniting flame wars causing an intense hatred threfore causing all humanity to end.

So yeah, it gets worse.

Watchdog/pstwo/rastalant - "This is REALLY what MS had intended to do. It\'s a sound plan - sell less Xboxs, put Cirrus out of business so MS can buy them out and OWNZ THEM! Then they will have a manufacturing facility to make their OWNZ CH1P YO!"

The only (and it looks like the only possible) explanation for this is that MS produces way too many units to meet demand. We always have units coming in to Best Buy, at least enough to meet what we have sold the previous week, we get about monthly shipments on GC and sporadic shipments of PS2.

BTW, the new NPD numbers have been revealed. XBox numbers tripled to nearly 260,000 and Gamecube numbers...hit a healthy 111,000!! ha ha ha, I guess Nintendo won\'t be needing to produce any units for a while :rolleyes: So let\'s see, XBox numbers = tripled, GC numbers = 50% increase!! woohoo!!


Told you so, bitches.

It is just that I stopped caring when theis place became less fun. I create fun by shoving correct information down your collective throats. Think of me as the polar opposite to Chrono, fastson, or Bossieman. Except I care just enough to piss EVERYONE off :)

but I was right you guys were wrong.
