Obviously, adequate quality control took a backseat to those other considerations, and it seems like the console has a lot of the half-baked features that didn't go through sufficient due diligence. .

Are you kidding me? Microsoft isn't making a dime from any of these consoles. They are losing about $153.00 PER CONSOLE sold. Microsoft or Sony for that matter DONT MAKE MONEY on consoles. Its all in the software licensing and add on equipment. (extra controllers, wireless network adapters etc.)

It is not in Microsofts best interest to have faulty hardware due to the fact that they cant sell games (which make money) if the system is down. Also, please expand on your "half-baked" features. I am curious as to your insight on what is not good on the new system.

As far as Sony goes, they are also having problems with the PS3. The Cell-chip they are using is not working up to spec, and they are trying to rework it.
