I don’t know how I missed this interview with a Microsoft bigwig about Xbox 360 failures. Even if you have zero interest in video games, it’s a stunning display of interview stonewalling.
My first reaction: how can they possibly think that responses like this are a good move? My second reaction: but what if this response really is a good move? How bad would the problem have to be for that to be true?
