Publishers and Retailers: Don't Kill Xbox Early

"Microsoft seems to have taken its eye off the ball with regards to the current Xbox - sales of hardware have slipped to a low level recently," said one publisher boss.
"With all the excitement of the 360 launch they could be forgiven, but they must refocus as there are still opportunities for the current market. And as a publisher we need them to get behind it more strongly. This gets the consumer excited and in turn sells more software.
"As it stands, great software on Xbox is underperforming significantly." Microsoft, however, has denied that Xbox has lost any of the company's focus.
The shortages of last Christmas and the first few months of this year have taken their toll on Microsoft's hardware sales, too, according to ChartTrack:
* 2005 year-to-date sales (UK): 183,000
* 2004 year-to-date sales (UK): 304,000
Year-on-year change: -39.7%
