So they take an even larger hit on their bottom line? That would not be a sound business practice AKA they'd be pulling a SONY.

Would I possibly buy one? It'd register on my radar better but here are some facts as to why I can't get excited about the X180.

1) It has a Kinect. Fact is I don't like kinect style games or really any of the kinect features. I don't want to get up and move around, dance around, or otherwise gyrate my body for any reason whatsoever. I do not want to talk to my console to make it do shit either.

2) As an RPG gamer the XBOX brand has been an utter failure. This is a Japanese related issue where MS just can not seem to get traction. Their WRPG offering has been ok but for the most part the Playstation brand has been able to keep up there as well. There just are not enough exclusive WRPG games for XBOX consoles to justify giving up on JRPG games.

3) Despite the number of 180s they've pulled they've already given me doubts. How long before they weedle some of these features back in? Maybe not the current gen, but what about next gen?

1. As far as Kinect goes, if Microsoft doesn't require you to hook it up and they seemingly(Imaginary price drop) aren't charging you for it, wouldn't you just leave it in the box or test it true durabilty from 3 flights up?  So, you just ignore it.

2.  For the RPG aspect, unfortunately there is no answer...

3.  Again, you speak the truth!  Only, i think we will see most(besides online check in for disc based games)of it in some way with 18 months of launch.
