“Years later, after losing the company literally
billions of dollars that will never be recovered, more damaging
secrets are coming out regarding the failure rate of Xbox 360.

“Microsoft even fired an employee who revealed it, so he lost
his job rather than received a reward for defending public
interests..”These figures may seem like old news, but each
time they come out Microsoft seems to operate some form of
AstroTurf (”PR”) and they carry on hiding this, which
means putting people’s lives at risk. Previously, Microsoft
fired a whistle-blower who had fiery secrets about Xbox 360-imposed
fires. At the time, based on offhand statistics, it was claimed
that most Xbox 360s went out of commission as they were defective
by engineering. The failure rate was reportedly 66%. And yes,
Microsoft even fired an employee who revealed it, so he lost his
job rather than received a reward for defending public interests;
there were no proper protections or harbour to people who mean
well. It’s all about money and bottom lines, apparently.”
