They would definitly be much much more successfull if they put the money into getting some exclusive AAA titles for their console, along with putting more ads out on tv. You might think they have enough ads as is but its better to spend that 100 dollars they are using to buy that fancy hard drive and modem on something that people will remember when shopping. Growth is exponential, if you start out with a **** load of people talking about xbox, the **** load of people who heard from their freinds will tell others. This is what i think happened with the ps2.

LOL.

Watch a hard drive and modem become a standard next generation. And you'll be saying how smart Nintendo was to have included it.

I wouldn't mind if the next consoles had the HD and the modem built in. Just as long as the cost doesn't go up by $100 (or more or less [would be better]) just to include those and any other features built in. If the cost was only say $50 more to include those built in, I wouldnt mind. But $100 extra would be a little too much.
