think of it .....microsoft has been losing money on every console even b4 the price cut ! i can only imagine what its losing now ! they are losing money from RROD, yes software is outselling ps3s but not when u add sonys ps2! dont 4get microsoft cant compete with handhelds which widens the users base ! so it confuzzled me ,but then i thought about it (being an ex 360 owner)its XBOXLIVE ! not only do u hafe to pay a 50 dollar acount fee , but u also mindlesly purchase shii u dont even use more than a couple times ....and when u combine the 50 dollar fee plus say another 50 dollars on other stuff per console owner ( 20m * 100 = 2,000,000,000 dollars a year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and thats juss an assuming average .
conclusion ....as long as 360 owners are willing to pay , the 360 aint going nowhere!! so get over it people.

I will correct you because you are wrong, on so many levels.
1) Microsoft HAVE posted profits this year in their entertainment division, a lot of people agree the 360 was making money before the pricecut.
2) They are not losing money from RROD, they paid out 1 billion to cover those costs.
3) You don't HAVE to get live, and not everybody has it.
4) Your figures are wrong ...
Microsoft do make a lot of money from live, I'd say the bulk of it, but it sells software like crazy and the consoles now I assume are only making a small loss.

a loss is a loss my frend ...which leads to my conclusion ....live is the money maker!!!

First and foremost Seece only assumes they are making a small loss. This is just an assumption and by no means is it fact. They could still be making money off of the console, as the price of manufacturing them could have went down.
Secondly, by your logic, Sony would be dead and gone if this were the case. If we are assuming today, I could assume that Sony is making little to no money off of their hardware, and their online interactive space is free. Plus, in most cases they don't have the luxury of the games on their system selling more copies.
Regardless, this thread if pretty pointless, and is fanboyism at it's greatest.
