Wow! You're the smart one!
I fail to see where the 64DD comes into this? He didn't mention anything about it. So the point of your post was?
Ok, back to the topic. I agree with TheGame to an extent, that they are trying to build up a larger fanbase... BUT... But I don't think the purpose of it is to build up a fanbase for their next consoles, but more to do with gaining more followers for their 'other' products. They are basically reaching out to people so that they will become interested in their 'core' brand, which everyone knows what it is
. Though the Xbox isn't going to be a leader, let along profitable, it is their vehicle to widen interest in their core brands. And I do think that they would make more money by expanding business in what they are market leaders in, instead of making profits which will be shared 3 ways in the videogame business...
That's my take on it, whether it's the case is a different matter altogether
