I think the loss in XBox for MS will be a strategic gain in the long run... it is just my opinion...
because they are lossing so much money in the hardware ... all that for $200, but the games they sell each cost nearly $60!!!
... just like PS2 or GameCube... it probably will not take long to turn this into a profit, as long the console itself sells well
but that is really just my opinion...
