J. Allard loses to Croal over PSP bet

N'Gai Croal is a writer for magazine Newsweek. J. Allard is a Microsoft executive, and him being bald-headed is important in this one. Because you see, the two made a bet last year that the PlayStation Portable (PSP) wouldn't reach the 10 million units shipped within 12 months like the PlayStation 2 (PS2).

Here's the gist of their bet: If Croal loses, Allard gets to cut off Croal's dreadlocks live on stage. If Allard loses, he would have to wear a dread lock for one whole month. As you all know, Sony made their target two months earlier and Allard, being a good sport, has done good on his wager.

"Admittedly, the PSP was a beautiful device with incredible specs. it had a fantastic screen and I knew that they'd sell millions of them, but I just didn't think that demand could be higher than for the PS2. Hats off to Sony for outpacing the PS2 velocity with their PSP. Dreads on for NÂ’Gai for calling it," posted J Allard on his official blog.
