I don't think Ck is saying they should have done differently now, just saying that poor design choices caused this in the first place.

If the system had a sub-3 percent failure rate to begin with, they wouldn't have had to do this at all.

This is an awesome move for the 360, and a painful one for Microsoft. Good for the system, hard for the parent company. It may cost MS a billion dollars, but I suspect this will have a very significant impact on system sales come this fall/winter. You can rest assured I will tell all customers who consider purchasing a 360 about this new warranty plan (I work in retail).

I was moreso referring to his double-edged sword comment, whereas I think it's actually a solid move to put consumer worries to rest, probably the best thing they could've done. Of course I'm not arguing that the poor design is the cause of this.
