When I first heard that Microsoft was going to extend Xbox 360 warranties to the tune of $1 billion my first thought was “Very cool”. My second thought was, “Mini is going to go ballistic”.
Well, sure enough Mini chimes in with a few choice quotes:
Now come on, how can you have to put aside $1,000,000,000 to cover faulty Xbox 360s and not go and hold President Bach or VP Moore or VP Allard accountable and fire them…
The only thing I’ve seen the Xbox business accomplish, besides making a lot of money disappear, is make Sony dash themselves against the rocks with the PS3. Monkey-see, monkey-do even better. In the meantime, the Nintendo little piggy gleefully exclaims, “Wii! Wii! Wii!” all the way to the bank.
For those of you unfamiliar with Mini, he is a Microsoft employee who has decided to blog anonymously. It’s not hard to understand this decision after reading a few of his posts.
