Hard drive is needed to play xbox (orgi) games and online

FYI they arent literally losing money, I had this discussion last night.

When this has been said the only reason for it is, there is simply a different profit margin on the 360 compared to what the internal’s would have been sold if they were in a desktop/laptop.  
So they arent literally “losing” money they just arent making as much as they could have with the same product.
