In Response To: Re: hard drive vs. memory card (Miguel Chavez)

: Reiterating my position stated on other replies here: even if there's no
: 'obvious' use for the HD and that it would've been cheaper to leave it
: out, I again point that it was a ballsy move to stick to the premise of
: the HD, Ethernet, 4 controller ports, etc.
OK. It's just that being ballsy doesn't always translate into sales, that's all.
: If they had systematically removed all these pricey 'extras' then the
: machine, IMO, would've been less distinguished from the competition, and
: also less flexible for future expansion. By sticking to their guns, MS has
: essentially created a level playing field of heretofore
: never-before-reached console platform equity.
Right. Which doesn't necessarily translate into sales, that's all.
: i mean, just because someone hasn't utilized the Xbox to it's full 100%
: doesn't mean we shouldn't admire it for at least attempting to raise the
: level of what constitutes a 'normal' console.
I don't know... we're getting a bit fuzzy here. I'm not sure I really need to be engaged in a discussion of which console best embodies the Platonic ideal of the true nature of what it means to be a console.... I'm much more comfortable with sales figures :)
