Sorry, but Robbie Bach is full of crap. He farked up when he admitted Microsoft wants to be first out and is now in coverup mode. Here is why the Xbox360 must be cut short: the 3 year extended warranty for the RRoD. Let's say you'd normally only want to be supporting your console for 8 years, including a standard 1 year warranty. You'd want to sell it for 7 years and then leave the last for warranty support. Now, what has happened with the 360? It has to support two more years than normal. In an 8 year support scenario, 360 sales would have to be stopped at year 5 so that the final 3 can be warranty support.
