<< With the release of Nintendo's GameCube coming in up in a few days Microsoft prepared itself to have the units on the shelf if a customer wants it. There are plenty of units availabe in stores for 299.99...ie..Wally World, Target, K-Mart, Sears. There is a high demand for the units but there is also a plentyful supply. >>
Prepared itself? In what way? They only had 300,000 launch units... Sony
had 500,000... Nintendo will have 700,000.
