  • Somehow I can very clearly imagine some MS product managers sitting for hours in a small meeting room and desparetely picking their brains on how to reinvent a cool hardcore gaming console into something that carries the fluffiness, cuteness and hipness of the DS and Wii.

    MS Guy1: "We need something like the WiiMote and NunChuck, throw in some casual puzzle games"
    MS Guy2: "Definately! Plus we need a new glossy or stylish looking case design! Lets go ask the Zune guys! Then the 360 is like the Wii". Not!

    It will never be, because Microsoft just can't pull off something as cool and smart as Nintendo or Apple, so please let it be.
