New Xbox 360?

There's a rumor going around that Microsoft will let third parties make Xbox 360's. What does that mean? It means that a company like, say, Toshiba could make an Xbox 360? Why, you ask? I really don't have a clue. Maybe to get more units out, and I'm sure Microsoft would make money from licensing these consoles. One plus is that some company is bound to make a 360 really cheap, the only problem is that who knows what the quality would be. Come to think of it, though, the quality of Microsoft's 360 consoles hasn't been that great.
