So it was either spend millions on reproducing the orginal Xbox or invest in releasing the 360 earlier.

Also the orginal Xbox was released in 2001, last game issued was 2008, xbox live support pulled 2010. Not saying MS supported the orginal xbox greatly, but it wasn’t like they dropped it like Sega did with Dreamcast.

And how can you say that they’re dropping support for hardcore gamers? The release of the Kinect hasn’t slowed or staunched the flow of quality games for all you “hardcore” guys out there.
