Can you provide a link on where they promised this.
Well, I have no link, but I don't remember MS promising an expanded friends list. But I do remember it being cited that one of the things MS could do if Live support was cutoff for the original xbox was expand the friends list. But I too would like to know where this major Live overhaul is that was supposedly impossible while original xbox Live was still on. (It's been a year now, surely MS could have done some of these things they claimed were impossible)
They never promised an expanded friends list, they only said H2 was holding it back, as it was the only game people still played on original xbox live (and was dying). All they said was that there would be improvements, not an expanded list. But of course, in here, people take rumors and run with them.

Well they are only making 16B in profits each year, clearly a few hundred thousand is too much to lose.
Clearly you would not know how to run a business. Small things add up fast. A lot of small loans added up fast and caused a debt crisis and a recession. There's a reason why MS still supports XP, because more then 10 people use it.

Yeah they are a bunch of @sswipes. Xbox original content probably didn't generate enough $$$ at the time to continue on live, making them lose some profit. So they were like: SCREW you guys, xbox is gonna get cut, suckazzzz!!!
Obviously you need to get a job and see how business really works in real life. If you run a business and support outdated stuff when most people have moved on, you will lose in the end.
