As thousands of U.S. gamers lined up outside stores last night waiting for 12.01am to arrive, Bill Gates himself was on-hand at a Best Buy in Seattle to greet the first customers for his new Xbox. According to Kotaku, the Microsoft boss took part in a few rounds of Bizarre Creation's amazing Project Gotham Racing 3, though there's no word on how he fared against the other players.
MSNBC also have a short interview with Gates from the store, where he declared the Xbox 360 the centrepiece of his strategy for customer's living rooms, though he also admitted he's not best described as a hardcore gamer:
I’m not a heavy gamer, I’m a light gamer — something to do with my job

The people on [the Xbox] team can all kill me within about 60 seconds on Halo, so I try and avoid them.
