Microsoft’s pockets not so deep for the Xbox 360 division
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the silliest arguments fanboys like to make is that Microsoft has a
| vast reserve of unlimited resources, all of which can be thrown at the Xbox
| division. Just like any other business, Microsoft is in the console market
| to make money and not to fuel useless fanboy fancies.
|
| According to Silicon Alley Insider, Microsoft is in a hiring freeze and
| slowing down spending for the time being. Initially, it was reported that all
| of Microsoft would be doing this, but a clarification from a spokesperson
| indicated that this was false. According to an email sent out by Robbie Bach,
| head of Entertainment and Devices (Xbox and Zune), only his division will be
| enforcing a freeze on hiring.
