Microsoft wants to be first on the market with their next console

[Mifely]

M$ will turn the 360 into a HD-Wii-clone before they destroy their installed base again.  Cheap, 45nm 360s in a cute little box, shipped with a regular controller, and a Wiimote-style one.  Drop the price... taking some of Nintendo's marketshare before Nintendo themselves can secure it into the "next-gen".
