Microsoft 360 Launch Seen On Track
Piper Jaffray said the launch of Microsoft's Xbox 360 is on track to launch
in November in the U.S. and Europe, and will likely ship "a couple of weeks
later" in Japan.
Microsoft management wouldn't provide launch quantities, but the research
firm estimates that 1 million units will ship in the U.S., 400,000 in
Europe, and 200,000 units in Japan by the end of 2005.
Piper Jaffray expects 15 games to be available at the console's launch and
25 to 40 games before the end of the year. The research firm noted that
there are more than 160 Xbox 360 games in development worldwide.
Microsoft also would not provide specific pricing information about the Xbox
360, but Piper Jaffray expects Microsoft will make one unit available at
$299, and another unit near $399, with the more expensive unit including
"additional hardware components (e.g., hard-drive option, extra controller,
memory option) that core users will likely buy anyway."

| That can't be true. Bligmerk says the XBOX360 won't make the launch date.

Bligmerk is going to be so enraged by this he'll have to drown an extra sack
of kittens this week

Nuh-uh. The HDD will be in all Xbox 360s, at least at launch. I guess a
package w/ stuff like extra controller, camera, etc. might be possible but I
wouldn't bet on it. Not right now at least.
