In Response To: Re: Different reaction (Avateur) : Well considering that without the Halo brand the Xbox would be dead and could : still possibly die (343 created out of Bungie's independence, and signed : to a 5 or 6 year plan?), and all of the red rings of death and unreadable : disc errors and bullshit in general from this product (when Sony is : getting sued over a software update that made someone's PS3 break or : whatever, but Microsoft seems to be untoucable with this stuff, having : only covered red rings), I'd say that they're going to try and use Bungie : and milk Bungie of all they're worth until they're done with Halo. And : depending on what comes after Halo, Microsoft might still try to hold on : to them and use them as their cash cow. I just want Bungie to have a lot : more control, get a lot more money, and do well. At this point, I really don't think the Xbox 360 utterly needs Halo anymore.
Put it this way, the 360 achieved significant sales in its first two years despite no Halo at all. It was out for nearly a year before H3 was even announced.
As for Microsoft not being touched by it, well, they have certainly felt it in the pockets. The extended warranty hurt them by over a billion. But credit to them, they did it, covering the two most common failures for 3 years. And the repair service has been first rate. When my 360 died a second time and I sent it off, not only did the replace the console (albeit with just a refurb) but the new console has, to my surprise, got a full warranty of its own, not just the limited one for replaced parts. I really can't hate on Microsoft for the Xbox 360, despite its problems.
