MS probably saw and knew that the X360 would sell out at launch, so they defected the units on purpose, so the buyers woudl be forced to buy another unit, meaning increasign the sales 2x, but then it didn't work because too many p[eople decided to send the units back. And no I am not a fan boy of any systems, I enjoy all of them equally, except GC.

seriously dude u gotta be to think they released defective ones on purpose.
It's not like people went out to buy a new one if it was defective:
1) There was a shortage
2) Warranty covers it for 3 months
3) Why would they want bad publicity

Think next time b4 posting absurd things like this

I was thinking, becuase that's what PS2 did, or atleast it seemed like it. All PS2s (except V7) had laser problems and a lot of peopel who have bought a PS2 had to buy a 2nd one.

I am kind of thinking that SOny is kind of smart when it comes to selling systems.

1. First they hype their machines
2. Then people buy they're machines
3. Then the consumers are forced to buy memory cards, controllers, etc...
4. They release machines with problems on purpose so consumers are forced to buy ANOTHER machine
5. ^ That could/would/ possibly raise the units sold by 2x.

Isn't that what all smart gaming console companies try to do...minus #4. Once again y would you give yourself a bad name for selling defected units on purpose. that would equal LESS sales which definatly isn't what they are after. People know, or should know that there is always going to be bugs for the first version or two of any sort of electronic equipment so people PLEASE stop the whinning. And as for #3 with out the sales of controllers, memory cards etc these companies wouldnt make any profit at all since theses consoles cost a whole lot more to make then their MSRP. Just to let u know im backing up MS and i am a Sony fan boy so hehehe

HipN, Buy a dictionary and look up the word warranty, then you will realise how much of a noob you sound.

You are reading a mindless signature, please stop reading it now it is mindless, one can only presume you are mindless since you are still reading this mindless signature, Oh my god get a life you mindless person, whats the matter with you, dont you have a girlfreind? mindless mindless mindless

noob? that doesn't sound like a noob, i never sounded like that, he obviously has a stick in his a$$ from someone feeding him some anti corporation tree huggin hippie crap. and for real dude, if everything we bought came with every acessory you could want, then companies wouldn't make any money at all, ask any salesperson, acessories are what pay the bills brother. what do you expect when you buy a tv, a tv, the power cord, remote, dvd player, ridiculously crazy reciever, 7.1 surround sound, thumpin sub, and all the monster cable you can dream of? wow buddy, wow. hahahahaha, and by the way, i'm not abusing, hahahaha
