MS has gone backwards on their second console.
The exclusion of a Hard Drive, and a high failure rate is taking two steps back no matter how you cut it.
Obviously, MS will stay in the game, but they have to be profitable. I don't think that even with all the money MS has, that they can afford to have another console be in the red. MS is down, what, 6 billion or so since the original XBOX came out? No matter how much you have in the bank, if they don't ever see profitability, it won't keep on coming, and the hardware directly ties into that. Spending 1 billion on repairs isn't chump change, and that can never happen again.
