It's far worse than the 360 Core.
How many Xbox and Xbox 360 games are currently out that don't work without a hard drive? Are there any?
A 360 Core buyer can always buy a hard drive later on (including a cheap used one on ebay), someone who buys a 40GB PS3 can't pay $40 later to upgrade their PS3 when they decide they want to play God of War 2.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
