Microsoft engineers on fear of facing another RROD nightmare with their new XBOX ONE console, have decided to slow the system down by up to 200Mhz to resolve any possible problems with its launch.
Two different anonymous sources claim Microsoft is still having design issues with their CPU/GPU combo and their cooling system, so instead of risking another RROD massive nightmare of returns early after the launch of the XB1, they have decided to take a quick-fix solution to the problem and slow down the system by 200Mhz.
Of course this is still a 'rumor' until confirmed by ripping apart actual consoles after it launches and testing the bus speed, etc. -- Also does this mean in the future if this 'rumor' turns to to be fact, that later models of XB1 will be faster after Microsoft solves the 'heat issue', or will they solve it before it launches this holiday season.
