Honestly, if 90% of the 360s out there have hard drives, than what the hell is wrong with a developer putting out a game that requires a hard drive? They only lose 10% of their targeted userbase, and they gain whatever functionality they wanted to gain for their game. I agree that the Core system with no hard drive was a stupid idea by MS, but there's no reason that developers have to be hamstrung by this mistake.
I agree, Microsoft should drop the Core, allow devs to require a harddrive if it's important for their games development. Existing Core users can upgrade if the game they want requires a harddrive. It ups the common strengths between PS3/360 cross platform development as well.
