They should have continued the x50 line for those premium users who appreciate something a little better than the mainstream offerings.
Only 3 ? And you think it's extraordinary ? My grand parents had the same TV set for 20 years ! And the same fridge for 40 years (still ok when replaced, but the sealing was disintegrating).

On the other way, I had a Sony TV set that had a component failure (a power transistor, I saw it when it was repaired at my home) just before the end of the 5 years extended warranty I paid for, and again one year later (out of warranty, replaced it with a low cost one that is still ok 10 years after).
