First we have Nintendo, stretching wider than the camera can capture, three full cabinet sections illuminated by vibrant backlighting mirroring the vibrancy of its ecosystem:

Then we have Sony. Not quite Nintendo-level, but still decidedly . . . alive. Still healthy. Still a viable console that the "mature" crowd can make a case for. Two full cabinet sections, filled to the brim with exclusives:

Finally, we have XBOX, and I'll just go straight to the pic because words cannot convey the utter devastation and humiliation:

Seven *chuckles* games, not one exclusive, not one with the slightest hint of originality. Two 2k games, two EA sports games, two Call of Duty, and the final hidden game is Assassin's Creed. Not a single Halo game, nothing Microsoft-published, not even the smallest totem of "Xbox" as a brand. Indeed, these games are only here at all as a result of third-party pull ... somehow the third parties have more pull than a Big 3 console maker. And below these "games," a few consoles, and below that ... empty shelf space. Having some vestige of a real game section wasn't worth it even when the real estate was readily available.

This is an absolute extinction-level event. The Dreamcast died with dignity. Even the Sega Saturn looked a lot better than this in its last days. Indeed, the once-mighty Xbox is now trading blows with pariahs like the Atari Jaguar, Virtual Boy, and Phillips CDI. That first day of innocence, when Doodikoff ran huffing and puffing to the back of Walmart only to come away empty-handed and console-less--I wonder if he could have possibly conceived that things would turn out this way.
