You obviously do not know what ignorance and arrogance applies to. Microsoft was trying to beat Sony to the punch. The word for that is called desperation, not arrogance. Sony had the fault hardware last gen trying to beat the Xbox out of the gate. Should I call your way of thinking a double standard or not? MS isn't alone in damaging the console scene because both they and Sony are in this console race for all the wrong reasons. Sony wants to monopolize the gaming market so they can use it to control formats, because in the electronics depardment they will get their asses handed to them by the likes of Panasonic and Samsung.

So you are saying that PS2's had as bad as failure rate as 360's? as far as my research has gone, not even half the problem. As far as controlling formats, do they own the sole rights to CD, DVD & blu-ray? no of course they don't. Sure they have a lot invested in Blu-ray but so does a lot of other companies including MS (talk about backing both horses in a two horse race). Sorry if you find me thinking companies who knowingly release faulty hardware are ignorant and arrogant, to me it would seem they are ignorant to the damage that would be done to the whole scene and arrogant to think they would get away with it, which they did. Add in desperation and i think the ignorance and arrogance is magnified but this is an agree to disagree moment i would guess
assumption is the mother of all f**k ups
