If Microsoft didnt have a hardware fault I think all cows would be dead.

This one fault is the only thing that is keeping the PS3 treading water. We would have another dreamcast replay if Microsoft had a better design.

... and maybe if they didn't cut costs by having underfunded production facilities in china they wouldn't have much of a price advantage

maybe so but a head start was the right choice. A 3 year warranty is the bandage.

If the 360 didn't have any hardware problems it would have been released along side with the PS3 and the Wii, thus elimintaing any advantage it would have recieved from being early.

so what was the point of this thread then again? i agree it was the right choice, it was basically the only chance they had to get a sizable lead, but in the end if they cant get this hardware fiasco fixed, it could backfire on them. it already is, another 2 billion down the drain in this division, and the more faulty consoles they sell the more warranties they are handing out. the elite was suppose to fix the problems, it didnt, now these smaller chips are suppose too, who knows if they actually will.

its better than having a 600 dollar console blu ray player collect dust and be lucky if I played one of the AA titles it has for 1 of the 5 days while my 360 is out for repair.

The PS3 would cost 200 buck more and the 360 would cost 100 bucks more.

if you don't think the ps3 has good games you're mistaken and probably haven't played or do not own a PS3.

And the PS3's lack of an extensive library of AA titles does not make it ok for MS to push faulty systems

what isit with these threads saying "if". it doesnt matter, the 360 does have hardware problems, end of discussion. its like i read what if the wii didnt have its wiimote, who cares, it does have it, why evaluate a hyperthetical situation. what if the ps3 had limitless power, then the 360 be doomed! , see what i mean, stupid things to say in my opinion.

The sad thing is that your kinda right. Before rrod and E3 MS could have landed the knock out. Then MS tripped on rrod and completely f'd with a lame ass E3 showing. Sony lowered its price and really had a good E3 showing now they are back on the rise. Thats why MS the best form of defence is attack.
