The infrastructure of the system must have been pretty deficient if they are unable to fix it after so long. Three weeks in the IT world is like a lifetime. Can you imagine if google went offline for this long, they would be crucified.

a friend told me that 2 weeks for rebuilding such a system is impossible, they really want everything to be secure

The normal procedure would be to place backups and update, not rebuilding. Rebuilding really means that parts of the system were flawed from the beginning.

Yeah... maybe install some firewalls as well.

The problem is, if they're adding firewalls that can break some assumptions on the network code in the console firmware and servers.

Worst case they may have to retest all online games to make sure they all work (if they don't then it's another cycle of fixing things, making sure the system is still secure with the fixes, and re-testing).
