Many Predict Lower Xbox Launch Quantities

Microsoft has previously announced it would ship 600,000 to 800,000 consoles when it launches the new system on November 8. Take-Two Interactive and other industry watchers expect that Xbox will launch with fewer quantities, perhaps as few as 300,000 units. Microsoft said they are looking at their manufacturing total, and could not say whether the 300,000 figure would be closer to the final tally.
