That was a good read. And I have to agree that if MS tries to push out the next console next year, that may be where they are hurt. They are trying to follow Sony too much and think that "First movers always win". Nintendo before used to think that it would be nice to be first out but I think they are shying back a bit from a 2005 release because its way too soon to get rid of its current console.

And as they said, MS wants to try and become industry leader so it can monopolize this industry too and ruin it. You can't release another console in less then or around 4 years. That's just way too short. And it shows developers that all MS thought of the XBox was that it was a wasted piece of hardware. At least Sony and Nintendo are holding onto their current consoles for longer to show that they care about their consoles and not just money.
