As usual, your headline has nothing at all to do with the story. I
don't know or particularly care what the sales projections for the
Xbox360 were but the story makes no mention of what "Microsoft promised
to sell" and certainly makes no mention that only half were sold.
BTW... corporations don't "promise to sell" anything. They estimate
sales targets and strive to reach them. Legal issues with investors are
funny that way... that's why they don't "promise" anything.
