Microsoft Desperate
Having to resort to Nintendo tactics to sell consoles. Lets hide aload of 360's and tell people they can't have them, that will make people to want it more...The difference of course, is the Wii is acually quite good a device for non-gaming audiences, the 360 is a white turd.
As for the PS3 wiping out the PS2 profits, you have to move aside the fanboy skin to see the real story, it's PS2 HARDWARE profits. Everyone knows the consoles are lossleaders, and the real money is in SOFTWARE sales, for which PS2 is making Sony megabucks still.
I think you should at least update your story to reflect that last point, as it's VERY misleading..
