NASDAQ.com has a press release online from eBay’s President and Chief Executive Meg Whitman, in which Whitman claims that 40,000 XBox 360 videogame consoles have been sold through the popular online auction site.
According to Microsoft, a total of 400,000 units have been brought into the US for sale, which means that one out of every ten systems purchased on launch day were later put up for sale by people looking to double, if not triple, their purchase price.
