Perhaps in order to prevent the x360 from cannabilizing the "x720" sal

....MS purposefully implemented high failure rates; the RROD. :shock:

Think about it. Part of the reason the PS3 had a slow start was because the PS2 was still a good console at a VERY cheap price with VERY inexpensive quality titles.

Perhaps Microsoft took a gamble and decided that in order the x720 to take off strong, it can't be hindered by lingering 360 sales at the start of the next gen. So they decided to cut the warrenties dry by the time the 720 is released, most 360s will have had hardware failures, and the natural thing to do (now that the warranty is no longer supported at this point) would be to upgrade to a 720.

Oh Em Gee.

Now this gamble comes at the cost of losing millions by replacing 360s during this gen, but the net gain by the end of the next gen could have made up for it. "In order to make money, you must first lose money." Some quote that I hear frequently, lol.

In other news, 911 was an utter fabrication of the US government.

He microwaved a buritto so hot that he couldn't eat it. But he tried anyway and blew his brains out.

Companies don't do that.
