It seems like every analyst on the planet is getting on the Xbox-bashing bandwagon...the latest such story ran on Reuters today, and it says that Microsoft may have sold as little as 300,000 Xbox units in North America in the first quarter of the year. As I've pointed out before, this is largely due to the post holiday season slowdown in the industry, but it doesn't change the fact that Microsoft won't make their estimates for Xbox sales for the fiscal year ending in June. Indeed, today's Reuters story quotes one analyst who speculates that Microsoft will "fall significantly short" of the target of 4.5 to 6 million Xbox systems sold by June. As usual, I can only tell people to wait for E3, and then this year's holiday season to really see how the Xbox story plays out. Now is not the time to declare the system dead.

• Gaming Age has a great interview online with Working Designs' Vic Ireland this evening. Vic mentions that they have no less than three titles already underway, and that they may bring a future Arc the Lad title over here, but not the online one that was recently announced. He also says they will not be bringing the Game Boy Advance port of Lunar: Silver Star Story to the US, and he even gets in a little slam on the Xbox, calling it "an also-ran".
