If this can get Nintendo some decent third party support and a few more exclusives I'm a happy camper. The 10 people who this affects can buy a...

    Microsoft Sold Out of 360s Last Month

    I don't know how they get their numbers but I think retailers must have seriously over estimated demand for these products. I went out shopping a few days after Christmas and every store I went to (Best Buy, Target, Fred Meyer, Costco) had at least 22 Kinect bundles on the floor. Fred Meyer...
