Windows Microsoft will have showcase applications ready in time for the Vista launch, which is still set for January 2007, company officials said. But given recent lawsuits and public disagreements with the likes of Symantec and Adobe Systems - two of Microsoft's biggest independent software vendor partners - which vendors are likely to be leading the Vista charge?

The worst selling console in over a decade.

A defect rate higher than all console combined over the past decade.

A console that has been outsold by a six year console for six of the seven months it has been on the market - and then only by a small amount.

The 360 hasn't even broke the two million installed base mark after six months or so on the market.

Yeah, the 360 sure isn't a 'failure'.

Need I remind you that when it first came out, there was a very limited supply. Even if it's not a limited supply anymore, tis not the buying season.

Geez.

Shortage of Xbox customers more like it. One of the oldest marketing ploys to make you want one is, "it's rare", "not many made", "limited edition", "you can't even buy one", too bad it didn't work.

I believe your statistics may be a bit off, perhaps they are supplied by an xbox competitor, perhaps some sources maybe useful, so we can judge the quality of your numbers
