With Microsoft sporting a cheaper console and the need to upgrade all new Xbox 360s to the New Xbox Experience come Christmas morning, it seems that a repeat of last year's Live crash is imminent.
Not so, says Aaron Greenberg, group product manager for Xbox 360.
"We've built a lot of infrastructure, a lot of behind the curtain no one seed," he said. "This is something that Microsoft is good at.
"We are well prepared for the type of growth we expect this holiday."
And if things do go sideways, Greenberg promises that Microsoft will be prepared.
"We will have people standing by, more people on hand than we've ever had before," he said. "Knock on wood we will hopefully not have any issues."
This looks like a great way to play.

As for my prediction . . . I am not sure. If there are even MORE 360's sold this Christmas than last Christmas (like most are predicting), I don't see how Live could keep it together. Sounds like Microsoft isn't exactly sure about it either as they will have a record amount of people on staff. Seriously??? At Christmas???
Everyone place your bets.
