Hope this doesn't mean they're going to release the most expensive device whilst realising last whilst "having no gamez" during the first 1-2 years, cause guess what, it's debatable whether it actually turned out "better", and secondly: You can't afford it.

End of post.

It is clear that MS rushing the 360 out is part of their RROD problems. Probably could have avoided that with a bit more time in the oven. So in terms of hardware, at least early on, PS3 was better (but also far more expensive :-p).

Not sure I would agree with you there.  Microsoft might have resolved it if they had another year.  Certainly there were suspicions about the cause of some failures before launch.  However from what I read, it seems as though they believed they would be able to work out the issue in manufacturing.  That is, they felt it was a yields issue not an engineering issue.  In the end, that proved untrue and they needed to re-engineer the console to fix the problem.
