| reverie said: To avoid the RROD Microsoft would have had to put more time into the development of the 360 and postpone the launch to fall 2006. By then they would have had no chance to build up a lead over the PS3 and would be dead last now with around 12 million 360 sold. |
Yep. The RROD was bad, but delaying the console would have been even worse.
Another often-seen myth is that Microsoft should have put HD-DVD on the console, a measure which would have ensured failure due to higher cost and delayed launch.
