I doubt this is true... it would murder X-Box's point in even existing. How long can you possibly lose money on a product... a move of desperation on their half.
The pointof Xbox isn' to make money.. it's just MS's tool to get thier foot in the door of the game inustry... trying to make a profit isn't even a goal for MS this gen.Thier goal right now s to spend as much as it takes to get Xbox's in as many houses as possible.

Nintendo trying to compete with MS for the better deal is like a human trying to see who can stay alive longer underwater vs a fish.

I don't think they will be trying to make moneywith Xbox 2 either, but I'm expecting that they want thier payoff around Xbox 3's time.
