Former Xbox 360 prototype worker turns to Sony PS3

Now it is amazing that many people are turning towards the Sony PS3 for some reason or another but for a former Microsoft Xbox 360 prototype worker turning towards the PS3 is exiting stuff.

I will not sit here and knock the Xbox 360 to the ground because it is not fair for 360 fanboys/girls, but for a former Xbox 360 prototype worker to turn his back on this console is a big kick in the teeth and clearly shows you what console is the most superior.

I am not going to judge, I will leave that up to you. Got to love what we found via product-reviews.net, this is what the former Xbox 360 prototype worker had to say:

The thing that jumps out at me, as I’ve noticed since launch, is that the PS3 costs much more than $400, $500, even $600 to produce, yet Sony still sells the console for less, and it’s all for the consumer.

I actually worked with Microsoft on the original Xbox 360 prototypes back in 2004, and, despite the accumulated cost of the hardware, Microsoft increased the price of retail sale above the production cost.

By the 360’s launch, I was a bit ashamed to see that the Xbox 360 was so expensive even though it was cheap to produce, and that’s when several other Microsoft devs in my group and I were surprised to see that the PS3 launched at only $600.

As a developer, I was really curious about each console’s hardware, and if we had put the Playstation 3’s hardware in our original Xbox 360 prototype, it would have cost well over $700.

The Playstation 3 consists of well over $750, but I’m amazed that Sony can sell the console for $400. In my opinion, that was a very smart move on Sony’s behalf.

Due to work terms, I’ve been prohibited from saying this until early 2008, but Microsoft severely rushed development of the 360, and we had a very short time window to work with in order to launch the 360 a year earlier. That was our, and Microsoft’s, biggest mistake.

As a result, the Xbox 360 has major hardware issues. I switched over to the PS3 when my Xbox 360, the console that I helped develop, RROD’d for the 4th time.

If he helped develop a console that RROD's, that doesn't speak too well of him as an employee as well. He is also partly responsible for the problem

Also, I thought M$ sold their consoles for a loss as well. Where have their losses been coming from? In sony's case, its pretty damn obvious!

already posted.

old and people got upset in the previous topic so reposting this may not have been a good idea.

so where did all the losses come from

 Sorry, didn´t really look this time if it was posted. LOCK THIS!
