The first half of the book is slow but it picks up when Microsoft enters the picture. Basically Microsoft contracted with IBM to make the Xbox 360 chip two years into a partnership that IBM had with Sony to make the chip for the PlayStation 3. So the authors were serving two masters as they worked to make the central microprocessor for both Sony's PlayStation 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360.
