Sony could stand to lose just as much if they present at a competitive price. Though the lack of a HD and the switch to MPEG-2 could help.

Once I read that the 360 runs on 3 high end processors, I knew that MS would be losing money on their new console.
I think their trying to offset losses by the pricing of their peripherals. Have you seen those prices? Holy crap!

Why didn't Microsoft just make the cost of their systems higher so as to avoid losing any money? I mean, come on people, this is America. You've heard about the sales on eBay. People would willingly pay $800 for the consoles if that's what they sold for.

Well I think a small percentage of gamer adults (and maybe a few parents) were willing to spend big bucks for the system, but thats not representative of the majority of people who want to buy the system.
They want more MS consoles in more houses, and they are willing to incur even more debt to do so.

Actually, if I remember correctly, the original Xbox lost $180 on every unit sold at the beginning. So if this figure is accurate, the Xbox 360 is some $30 more profitable than its predecessor.
