Microsoft know damn well that to win the console wars they need an easily crackable console. That way they get the penetration required and the odd hardware change or OS update will force some original sales up.

Its all balance and too much in either direction screws the gamer over. I know from experience that many non gamers bought a PS2 to play 1-2 games. Get it chipped and buy some dodgey games, it keeps them interested and then come xmas birthdays etc they get some more originals bought for them or with vouchers.

And again, back to Nintendo. Hardest security to crack in a home console, I forget how many years its been to get a modchip working. Do you think if it was cracked at the same pace as the PS2 and Xbox it would have been such a slow seller?
