I think microsoft had good intentions at first but seriously who really thought this was going to be the end all be all of consoles and pretty much a new generational console. Them gaf wing nuts were praying for a xbox 2 and got a xbox 1.5. Sure it will be a bit better than the pro but microsoft knows they cant launch a console over 399 so this the best they can do. Sony still got this drop the price on the pro and they will be in the same situation they were in at launch. Only think that can help microsoft right now is exclusives and we all know where that's at now. *cough* Master Race.
