Reggie... or anybody for that matters, should shut up about other company's business, especially if you don't have anything constructive to say.

Saying Microsoft's xbox isn't an 'smart idea' is just asking to get yourself disrespected by gamers.

From a business perspective, the 360 is the biggest money leech in existance. It, with the Zune, made a 500,000,000 "profit" in what is probably its most profitable year ever, and that includes from here on out, and that doesn't include the 1,000,000,000 dollar cost of the RRoD.

 

I know your smart enough not to fall for MS spin though, so lets assume you know the 360 was a bad business decision, and instead your problem is with Reggie saying it.

 

Well, it's the same thing as when the idiot asked Jaffe why Miyamoto said cars shouldn't shoot guns and Jaffe fired back at Miyamoto, to his eternal disgrace. A retarded question from a retarded press agent, designed to get a controversial response, and everyone gets all pissy when they hear it, like it was Reggies fault.

 

If you ask me, I think he fielded the question rather respectfully.

 

What say you?

 I actually thought personally that xbox was a fantastic business decision, in expanding the Microsoft name. Financially, it hasn't been that successful, but as a goodwill, it was MONSTEROUS.

 now, that's not to say it won't turn the corner, it has, and I see xbox brand making money for Microsoft for years to come.

 In that aspect, I disagree with Reggie, but that's not why I was disappointed with his comment.

Whether is Reggie, Jaffe, or Miyamoto, all of them are great at what they do and they should STICK to that, making those comments make them look childish and fanboy-ish.

 What Reggie should've said is that "xbox is a good competition, but at Nintendo, we....... and we are doing the best for OUR shareholder". I wish they all took Politic 101
