You bring up a good point. These kinds of games are closer to vanity platforms than roleplaying vehicles. Why waste precious time with plot when the whole point is oneupmanship.
Anyone with any memory at all remembers the infamous pentium bug of years back. These things happen and as they pack more transistors onto their chips we can expect the number of hardware bugs to climb as well. Many of them are never even caught because they're never seen.
Intel got hit with a firestorm of bad publicity before and are just covering their a$$es. Its frankly good business.
