Rings of Fire : 360 Woes Are Actually Sony's Fault!

As many good 360 owners know, there is a plague amongst them and their trusty consoles. (Well semi-trusty.) The infamous ring of fire has attacked nearly 33 % of all Xbox 360's at one point or another according to a Canadian survey. (But really, why not American? I am sure that if they interviewed American consumers they would get a lower percentage. Simply because the fanboys aren't too easy to give up their hardware.) In a recent diagnosis, it turns out the parts that cause the ring of fire to occur are produced by a sub-owned Sony company. Fanboys, grab your torches and prepare to flame, I will even dip myself in oil to add to the damage you deal out whilest you flame. But this is what it looks like : Sony is a big company that owns a littler company called TeikaData Inc. that produces key components for the Xbox 360 consoles that are supposed to have a life time of 10 years or more. But some only live to around 12 months or so before massive  brand-killing failures. And guess what? The PS3 came out nearly 12 months after the 360 was introduced. What brilliant timing on behalf of Sony and what idiocy on behalf of M'Soft. Gates, you got owned, hard.
