Sorry for the lack of posting folks, I've been under the weather lately... but I've crawled out of my sweatsuit [used to induce a fever-annihilating cold sweat] in order to get back to producing stuff for you, my dear friends.

The last thing I will say about being a sick ninja is that no one around me is safe. Shurikens no longer fly straight when your fever crests 102°.

Now on to the story.
Bopping around the net as I usually do, I came across this story about an interview done by N'Gai Croal with Larry Probst the CEO of EA. Croal was talking PS3 and XB360 development efforts or focus versus those for the Wii by EA given the supply/demand issues for the PS3 and the, well, lack of demand for the XB360.

Mr. Probst, immediately after the first question is asked attempts to stop Croal dead in his tracks, sounding as though Croal has said or asked something completely incredulous. Personally, I thought the lead off question was great. Croal simply asked,

"Here's my first question. PS3 is supply constrained and will likely remain so until early 2008. 360 demand is..."

to which Larry replied,

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Early 2008?"

. Croal then goes on to explain his reasoning behind the question. Don't you just hate it when the person interviewing you has done their homework and knows the topic well?

Go ahead, read all of parts 1, 2, and 3 of the interview. It's a great piece to read as Croal asks a lot of great questions... like the Microtransaction-to-death policy EA seems to be adopting. Read on and learn people. Learning is power, and they don't want you to have power. They want you be docile and complacent consumers. Ya know what I mean?
