yes, but it also means high manufacturing costs per chip |
i've been told MS have mountains of money to ensure that the xbone is succesful. wouldn't taking a high cost per chip for a couple of months until you can get better yields be worth it? its not like this kind of issue should take years to figure out. faced with missing this holiday (giving ps4 a head start), down specing the system (risking delays to launch games that would need to be modified for the change in specs), or taking a short term financial hit,.. i'd take the hit and hide it in MS's billion+ quarterly profits.
