Ok, fair point.
OP: There is merit to this argument (assuming that the cloud talk is legit and not MS jumping on some buzzwords to cover for having a weaker console). But it is going to be about as effective for MS as it was for Sony when they added bluray to the PS3. People will see the increased cost (and in this case the added restrictions) and stay well away. And it isn't like this will help them long term either, as Sony will have time to add in any game sharing or cloud features they think are worth taking from MS while MS struggles with selling the more expensive, less powerful, and "consumer unfriendly" console.
The whole thing is a mixture of bad luck and arrogance. It wouldn't take much to fix the console, but they have dug a very deep hole and it will take a long time to climb back out. It feels very similar to the PS3 situation.
