I'd love to know who would willingly pay $234.65 for a console with "value engineed" nickle and diming rather than paying $238.87 for a few decent components

You don't decide to buy an xbox rather than a playstation because it's 5 bucks cheaper.

This applied to every single parts/designs so finally accumulated to dozens of dollars. IMO they shouldn't rely on external reliable clock.
