RRoD is fixed with the new GPU. I have 6 x 360's... Two RRoD'd last December. My 360's have been more durable then my two PS3's dying twice. And my one and only Wii died once.
Microsoft's 360 is just as un/profitable as PS3 has been for Sony... If not better. Its funny that Sony selling blu-ray at a massive loss and cheaper then a stand alone blu-ray player doesn't phas people, but when Microsoft reduces cost (redsigned GPU) and passes that on it does...
Also, Microsoft took a $1.1 billion charge for RRoD in mid-2006, so it is already paid for. The last time I heard, Microsoft had used $800 million of the money to date. They still have $300 million to burn.
3rd party exclusives are part of the strategy to gain mind share in the market place. By noticing it, it is obviously working.
