Does the Wii prove that the HD razor/blade model is flawed?

In which way is revenue relevant to the topic at hand? I am curious.

Revenue is really the only measure of popularity that matters. The problem is both Microsoft and Sony had major unanticipated cost overrun disasters. Microsoft had RROD. Sony was hit by both major upheavals in the fab industry and diode shortages.

Their business models would seem to be perfectly sound as long as they can contain major cost explosions next time.
