    I wouldn't be surprised if xbox stocks went down after they had to pay up 1 billion to fix a problem that shouldn't have been there in the first place.

    Not looking good for M$. The guy who started it all is selling his stocks.....in a way it's fun hating M$, but at the same time they need to be there and the same goes for Sony......the Wii is just the red-headed step-child tbh so it doesn't count because everyone loves Nintendo.....

    I'm not sure why most of the news posts are listing this as "stock in the Xbox 360"...I think it's stock in Microsoft, if I'm not mistaken. If I am mistaken, then I'm just surprised to learn that you can actually buy stocks in the XBox 360 -- I thought you could only buy stock in companies like Microsoft...and that you could not choose to own stocks connected to only specific products of those companies.

    It's also interesting to note that this stock sale took place between May 2 and July 6 -- that's a 2-month period. During that 2 month period, I think many people may have seen the failure rate of the 360 (it has been all over the internet for quite some time) and foreseen major expenses for Microsoft and perhaps a reason to sell shares...

    Where's the mystery or conspiration? Robbie Bach, President of Microsoft's Entertainment Division didn't knew that MS was devoting 1$ Billion to X360 repairs? Is it just a big, totally unrelated coincidence that he decided to sell just prior to MS's announcement?

    Yeah, sure. If someone believes that, I've got a nice bride (with a Wii on top) to sell them.

    I do. I bought into the Wii hype and now I feel cheated. Nintendo has sold me a 250€ party game (Wii Sports) and that's all there is to it. And for all the talk about the OMGincredible! wii demand out there, it's taking me a while to find any buyers...
