Im sure Microsoft wont be as quick to abandon their console this time around....

 

They had no intention, going in, of halting the first Xbox's support. nVidia decided "Hey, we're gonna screw them over and stop manufacturing the graphics card! LOL!"

Microsoft develops and manufactures all parts of the 360, so that won't be an issue this time.

And yeah, the 360 is 'only' outselling the Xbox for this point in its' life by 40k a week, despite having a much higher entry price and with the original's extra holiday season.

 

Nvidia did not stop manufacturing graphics cards. Microsoft did not want to stick to the original contract because the Xbox was not selling like they planned. Nvidia threaten to take them to court but Microsoft decided to settle.

 

You could have gooled this.



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
