When it was release the warranty was 1 year, like all electronic device. Its only after legal sanction that Microsoft extended their warranty. Before that, it was possible to purchase an extended warranty from either the manufacturer or retailer. Surely, he could have sue them after the first one had broken, but he thought it was better to save the time and energy and simply purchase a new one. Plus, opening a case about legal guarantee (in Canada) cost 100$ and can takes up to 2 years before being refunded. Legal guarantee is a law that says: what you purchase should have a reasonable life in relation to what it is and the price. Im not even sure all countries have that.

This source says otherwise: http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/12482/Microsoft-Extends-Xbox-360-Warranty-to-One-Year/

6 months later they changed it to 3 years: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6173633.html

The question is when he bought his 360s. Still pretty sure that at least one of these purchases was unecessary.

His argument all seems very well engineered doesn't it? Heck even if you're out of warrenty, often enough MS are kind enough to repair for free (guess it depends on their funds and circumstances)
