Bill Gates Expresses His Worries About The Xbox 360!

For everyone who bought it and are having crash problems like thousands are around the world. You should of paid attention and readup about it before buying it. Glad I did not waste my money. Although I hear the Core system hasnot had any problems.

Speaking to Bloomberg News, Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates discussed the Xbox 360, which he called ?the hottest product we've ever had?. Gates also expressed his worries about the console?s manufacturing.

"We see ourselves having a higher share,'' Gates, 50, said before his planned trip to a Bellevue, Washington store for the Xbox release. "We're not going to name some magic number but we're out to give the best gaming experience and hope to get a really high market share out of that."

"By the end of 2007, you'll have kind of a sense of how much did Microsoft increase its market share: dramatically, not so dramatically, did Sony mess up, what happened?," Gates said.


1,700 Worries per Machine

During the interview, it was also revealed that the Xbox 360 contains 1,700 separate parts so in response to that Gates said: "For the last six months, we've been on the edge of our seats. I hope I don't get an e-mail saying ?Gosh, processor yields are too low, or this plastic factory burned down in Malaysia, so we'll have boxes but no controllers.?"

"With software at least, the people who determine your fate all come to work here at Microsoft," Gates added.
