In peoples lives hiatus are usally a good thing in business hiatus are pretty much a bad thing already mentioned Atari can't think of another example because usually when a company takes a hiatus it means that they are gone forever.  Your either in business or out of business.  Also businesses launch faulty products all the time just look at the Chevy Cruze it had numerous problem when it launched in the US but really its should have had close to no problems since its basicly a rebranded Holden Cruze/Daewoo Lacetti Premiere  that was available in other markets two years before the US launch.  The should have resolved all the kinks overseas before the US launch.


wow really!!! facts v facts, or is this just a conversation out of hand? yes businesses launch faulty products all the time, but the 360 situation reminds many of the ford explorer bridge stone situation in the 90's. hell clowns don't flip that much lol.

most of this businesses being afraid of one another thing is impossible to prove anyway, but hey, i'm late to the convo., and everyone seems to have gone back to there corners (S.T.A.G.E. being bannd and all), but if the facts speak for themselves then i'd say in this case. neither one of you got your point accross. 

You mean the Firestone and Ford Explorer situation in that case both parties where at fault Ford for designing a poor car and Firestone for making faulty tires.  But the big looser was Firestone they lost their business relationship with Ford that pretty much goes back to the beginnings of Fords founding.  As of today Ford is a company on the rise Bridgestone/Firestone not so much.   Also Ford could have came up with a better business partner then Pirelli to make the default tires for most of their cars.  When it comes to tires Pirelli isn't any better then Bridgestone/Firestone they should have went with the best and started a partnership with Michelin.
