Microsoft Scam Artist???

Is it just me or is Microsoft scam artist. Microsoft as many people know are the makers of the Xbox 360 , and I have realized that over a few years that some of my Xbox accessories have suddenly stop working. It has happen to two of my mics and my play and charge cord. All of them were in perfect condition no water damage, they haven't fell or been beaten up they just stop working. And this hasn't only happen to me, this happened to a few of friends also. So I believe that they make their products so that they last for a while and then break, so you have to spend money getting another one. Or maybe I have been doing something wrong with their products that make them break, I guess I will never know. What are your thoughts on this situation I will love to know leave a comment below telling me.
