Aug. 28, 2009 -- SquareTrade analyzed failure rates for over 16,000 new game consoles covered by SquareTrade Care Plans and found that the Wii experienced one-fourth of the common failures that the other systems have.
While on stage with Dina Bass at The Bloomberg Technology Summit the President of Xbox, Sarah Bond, was asked about the Xbox studio closures of Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Studios
Of course she did. She's part of the problem and will just tow the company line.
I always wondered why xbox had multiple leaders with similar titles like Phil Spencer, Matt Booty, and Sarah Bond, like, how many heads do you actually need?
Seems to me it would be more cost efficient to cut 2 of them instead of all those studios.
While many gaming layoffs are cruel, Tango Gameworks being culled after Hi-Fi Rush doesn't even make sense.
Good read. I think the point is important. Cuz the message it sends is, make a bad game? Well shut you down. Make a good game? We still might shut you down. How the fuck are you supposed to feel any sense of job security under those conditions. The level of core incompetence at play in the upper levels of this industry is staggering. This is common sense shit. You can’t chase trends on a 2 year cycle when games take fucking 6-8 years to make. Just let artists fucking art for gods sake. They don’t understand the basic principle that they’re all haggling for the same slice of fucking pie and the market will not bear it. Find a different fucking pie.

flopbox RRoD is a common occurrence
the 360 failure rate was like %50
yea right
MS has spent over a billion on RROD with the extended warranty! They have the numbers and THEY KNOW they CAN NOT release em!
I think only reasons why people are still getting 360 even with the high failure rates are because it a cheap console and its American made by Microsoft if this was anyother normal company it wouldn't have a chance in hell like the Phantom console.
know what the gamecube ps2 and xbox failure rates are i had 2 gamecube's 2 ps2 and 3 xbox last gen lol this gen 1 ps3 2 wii and 13 360 lol
