Despite MS's focus to deal on #'s shipped, unbundling what supposedly couldn't be unbundled, completely backtracking on all of their policies, dropping the price by a hundred bucks less than a year into the generation and giving away their blockbuster title for FREE, dudes have a rational explanation for everything. Every single source reporting that these guys are in trouble are wrong despite all signs alluding to the contrary. Is Microsoft cutting some of you guys checks? If they fold, are you out of a job? Possibly under an embargo and you can't divulge much else, but the amount of spin and denial could be rationalized if that's in fact the case.
