because no matter what they say, they are NOT losing money on it... they may not be making as much as they had hoped.... but they certainly arent losing money.

also, with the ps3 coming out... dropping the price, even just slightly will make their product even more appealing to the average consumer. i think ps3 is going to flop. it will see a lot right off the bat to hardcore sony cusotmers... but past that, i cant see anyone really caring to spend $700 on the system.... not to mention. because ht egames will use the blu-ray technology the game disks will cost more to make and the price of each game could easily reach $80 or more... not to mention... blu-ray is one of those things that will not surpass the test of time. its cool now, but something better will come out.. and soon.

think of it like the sega saturn... even i had one... it was awesome. CDs for games!! what a great idea... too bad it was one of the first of its kind and it flopped.

I bought the 360 because A.) I had the money and B.) I wanted to play PGR3 and PDZ. I hardly play those though so I will be waiting for Halo 3. PS3 will not be very successful because most PS2 fans in the UK hav'nt got the financial backing to pay £500 on a console

Microsoft short orderd the 360's to make them look like a big hit. In my state at one store they got 3 xbox 360's and then there was a line of about 700 ppl who wanted to buy one.
