    I think consoles are exempt out of concern for piracy. Mod chips are cheap, but risky to install, and generally void your warranty, so replacement is out of the question. But if they’re forced to supply parts, you can easily replace a dead motherboard or other damaged part in case of a failed install. Not that you can’t do it otherwise, but it’s typically pretty difficult to get the parts required.
