There are quotes around spokesman to emphasize 1) the choice of word was not mine, and 2) the article gave no name or source which lent any reliability to the authenticity of the quote.

That said, I have no doubt the quote is true, I just wanted to make sure people knew that there is no name credited with this quote.

Good, competition is good.

Why are there quotes around the word spokesman?

360’s were going for $1000-$2500 on eBay due to shortage problems.

In the UK, PS3’s on eBay are CHEAPER than retail.

I think this is definitely due more to the production issues facing the 360. This time last year, you were lucky to even find a 360 in stores, and it was only really around May that you stood a chance of finding one…

Forget the fact that there were 360 shortages during its launch, and the eBay prices for them were $1000-2000?
