GD managed to score literally the final ever interview with Peter Moore when he was at Xbox. Moore slammed critics of the Xbox 360 and said that they need to take a look at failure rates of consoles of the past when talking badly on its failure rates. He also questioned the Sony's move to cut the price of the PS3 by noting that the strong price cut surely wouldn't have been part of their 10 year product life cycle after just 8 months.

BIZ: It's a bit ironic, because when MS first got into the console business, critics laughed because MS is a software company at its core. It's not in the business of creating hardware. Now the company has discovered some faulty design in its 360 hardware, seemingly proving the critics right. What do you say to those critics?

PM: Those critics need to do their homework and look at some of the hardware product failures that this industry has seen in the past 30 years that maybe have not got as much publicity...

BIZ: You're saying that this is not an unprecedented failure for a video game console?

PM: Probably the size of it may be unprecedented, and certainly the financial implications, but if people say that previous consoles have all been perfect and not had failure rates, then they need to go get a history lesson.
