Ok. You convinced me.
But in the next Gen, it's not a strategy to just throw away. M$ didn't lost anything for doing this., actually it just shown that consumers are willing to buy a useless console and paying for playing online.
I'm glad that Sony didn't followed that strategy. But this don't change the fact that Microsoft doesn't even needs to make money in consoles sales.
If there was a offer like this: Buy Kinect 1 year Live 1 game and earn a free Xbox Arcade. Microsoft would even be able to profit from it, most because of users that will buy 1 HDD, more years of Live and more games. I'm not saying that MS should do this, of course not, but this shows that MS is in a 10 times better position than Sony in the market.
