M$ would have to be insane to launch a faulty console after the losses they took from that RRoD debacle, and Sony would have to be insane to give their competitors 1 & 2 years in the market ahead of the PS4. Didn't they already say they wanted to release the PS4 before the 720?

I don't think they will get away with it if they did try it. Not this time. The only reason people put up with it is because they couldn't afford ps3. If people really want that type of machine next time they will look at sony since I assume they will price themselves more competitively.

IF this is true (its a rumor so who can tell) they have no choice but to delay it or they risk their reputation as a console manufacturer.

Well, I just hope for their sakes and our's that they do whatever it takes to keep the failure rate to a bare minimum. As far as I know, the Xbox brand has yet to break even after the colossal losses that they took from the Original Xbox and early 360, so they can't afford to screw up on another console.
