Question: Two leading design firms, Astro Studios of San Francisco and Hers Experimental Design Laboratory, Inc. of Osaka, Japan, worked with Microsoft to design the Xbox 360 video game console. IBM, ATI, and SiS designed the Xbox 360's hardware. Three firms-Flextronics, Wistron, and Celestica- manufactured the Xbox 360 at their plants in China and Taiwan. Why do you think the Xbox is designed in the United States and Japan but built in China?
