There are few things that don't logically make sense to me that you're claiming DopeyFish:
-- How can you guarantee that developers and content creators will heavily support the HDD when you're conceding in the same breath that the core console may end up becoming the standard. How often do most developers support a feature well that only the minority are capable of using?
-- What does it matter if all the games are programmed in HD if the majority of people are still using the composite cables that MS gave them with the retard pack to connect their console to their tv? How is MS going to usher in the HD era if they're not encouraging people to use cables necessary for HD?
-- If MS is so confident in their vision of an HD era, where gamers are creating and downloading loads of content with each other and from developers, and everyone is using wireless controllers standard, then why are they hedging their bets with this other SKU. You know this retard SKU which a lot of us seem to agree is going to take over the market if the mainstream gamer has anything to say about it.
-- How are wireless controllers going to become the standard for Xbox 360 when it's so damn expensive for all the wireless options and the wired controller option is significantly cheaper and readily available?
-- Microsoft's concentration at their E3 presentation was on the services you get with Xbox 360. The biggest headline of that night was Robbie Bach announcing that the Xbox 360 would be backwards compatible with Xbox's top selling titles. The main focus of MS's E3 presentation was not look how gorgeous our Xbox 360 games look. That was Sony's E3 presentation. Pre rendererd clips do nothing for me either, I'm just talking about what the focus was for each company at these big industry events. At the Game Developer's Conference the main things MS talked about were the HD era and microtransactions through Xbox 360.
"They are staying true. HD era. wireless. (supported by every 360!) 5.1 sound. Live sexiness. and making the console more accessible and affordable for people who have been turned off by consoles from the industry becoming young male centric."
-- The games support it , but the core console doesn't support it. And if most people end up buying the core console like you said could happen it is not likely that most people will upgrade that console to take advantage of the advanced features that the games support. That's why I don't see MS following through with their vision. I think they have to work on getting the tools in people's hands and by pricing all the accessories so expensive it is not helping.
"it's $50 for a wireless controller. You use AA batteries from there. Yes there are other options like a battery pack, the wire which also is a charger for the battery pack. But baseline is $50 for a wireless controller. Wavebirds are $10 more than standard gamecube controllers and require AA batteries. This is no different."
-- I think you just proved my point with your own statement. "The wavebird wireless controller is $10 more than the standard Gamecube controllers." If the wavebird didn't become the standard Gamecube controller, then why would the Xbox 360 wireless controller become the standard? People are going to opt for the cheaper more reliable option that doesn't require them to constantly buy loads of batteries. If the core console becomes the defacto standard then the majority Xbox 360 owners will be using a wired controller because that's what it comes with.
Don't you see that if the core console/retard pack succeeds and overtakes the premium pack that MS's entire vision for next-gen gaming goes down the tubes?
