Heh. Now how much profit does Microsoft or Sony make per system? They probably lose money...if what I heard is correct.

The console sells a lot but also have to say that consle is a piece of crap

I don't think MS is loosing money on the 360 however I have heard tat Sony is loosing money on the PS3

well microsoft is loosing a lot of money replacing the 360's with the RROD, and Sony is loosing a lot of money cause it costs more to make a PS3 then what there selling it for.

Nintendo is pretty smart, I have to admit. They are basically repackaging a gamecube with a somewhat faster CPU, and throwing in a new accessory to seal the deal. They have been making the same system for the past half decade or so. Obviously they can make it cheap enough now to turn a sweet profit. Exploitative, but genius!
