    Because MicroSoft is depending on the consumer to buy certain amount of software titles before it becomes profitable for them. If someone buys an XBox and mods it, and installs Linux and thats all they do, they are not paying in to buying actual licensed software for the XBox which MicroSoft wants a cut of.(Which is where they will eventualy make a profit on the HARDWARE you bought.) This is one of the main reasons the DreamCast died...
