Christmas Always Comes and Nobody CANCELS Santa!!! :) Well , if the X-Box performs like some of the block-buster summer movie releases...it'll get alot of initial hype and build-up. it might have even a smashin 1 1/2 to 3 day ...or even a great two week opening , and then everyone forgets about it ... Have you noticed that lately ? They used to spend huge amounts of money on elaborate ads promoting movies that would have strong attendances for at least a couple of weeks ...but now a movie ,if to be successful has to do it all in the first 4 days , cause they release them to 30,000 theatres at once all over the place. then it's on to HBO and BlockBuster Video they go ! ;-) MSFT prolly came up with something cool in the X-Box but prolly not going to be a super novae by any standard..
