It could be both but I know Nvidia did the dirty on MS which forced them to accelerate their plans to launch the next gen. IIRC Microsoft were going to let Sony launch first and price their console accordingly, but they took a stab in the dark at pricing and got it right. The Xbox 360 was dirt cheap when it launched.The story I always heard was that they rushed 360 just to be first, not due to some sort of components dispute on the OG Xbox- which they wanted to get away from since it was a money loser. Even if they had been able to redesign its internals late in life they still wouldn't have wanted to keep it around. Everyone except Sony wanted to get out of that gen as soon as humanly possible.
