The point is completely valid. MS launched a garbage system that broke a third of the time, but all the first year problems didn't really affect it long term. The head start did help it gain market share, however, that has helped it to this day. Nintendo probably should have launched with delux only, sold a few less but streamlined the manufacturing process and made more money per unit. Then get agressive when their real competition for the next 5 years is launched in the fall.
