I made the decision to buy an X-Box last spring and I haven't regretted it once. The huge controllers took a little getting used to, but now that I have played Halo so much every other controller feels awkward. I have never had as much fun playing video games as I have had playing Halo against my friends.
As far as Microsoft making money goes, all companies are trying to make a profit. If Microsoft was privately owned business than they could strictly concentrate on making the best product aimed at us techies. However, they are a publicly owned company and are under the ever-present scrutiny of the millions of stockholders to make a profit and must therefore reduce their costs as much as possible.
