xbox sells on Ebay every 16 seconds

[Freak]

As the newest console from Microsoft, the Xbox 360 continues to sell out of stores across the nation. Buyers are turning to eBay in an effort to get their hands on the latest craze in the video gaming market. In fact, the first week after its launch (November 22nd, 2005 - November 28th, 2005) Xboxs were selling at an unbelievable rate of 1 every 13 seconds during peak times. Based on Terapeak analysis of eBay (Nasdaq:EBAY) data, over $23 million worth of Microsoft Xbox 360s were sold in the first week.

We didn't get that many around here. I've been informed by my friends in the electronics retail field that only a lucky few hundred are proud owners of the XBox 360 in the western Portland Metro area. About 200,000 people or so.

Should have bought some stock in Microsoft before that came out. Actually, should've bought some when Microsoft started out. :banghead:
