Copyright restrictions prevent the disclosure of exact ChartTrack figures (for more details head to www.chart-track.co.uk), but the overall picture clearly indicates that hardware sales have peaked a year earlier than some analysts predicted - meaning the next two Christmases will be even more challenging for retailers with discounted software likely to be rife as they battle for market share. Christmas 2004, in particular, will be tough with both the PS2 and Xbox likely to be battling it out in the sub-£100 category and the Cube is likely to be a giveaway £50 by that stage as the dreaded transition period starts to loom. Dreaded for the industry at least - the consumer certainly won’t mind the effect of competition.

FOPOS will probably sell for 5$ this time next year.

Nah, IPLY is full of such big shit heads that they'll try to sell it at a 50 buck price, and all the stores will just refuse to carry them.
