A Wii is as expensive to make as the retail sale of the 360, so no I don't think MS is making profit with the 360 at this price.

Are you sure? Wii is only a pimped GC with motion controls. And the 360 was the cheapest console to ever manufacture, the 360 have the largest power brick, a disc tray(YES, the 360 still uses disc tray), a noisy fan and dont forget the RROD. YES... the 360 was so cheap to manufacture that it causes RROD. Simply because the GPU and the CPU of the 360 was stronger than the Wii doesnt mean its not cheap to manufacture. This is MS we're talking about, the one that made Windows and its blue screen of death and theyre not even know how to make hardware. The Wii is made by ATI BTW and the PS3 is done by SONY themselves.
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
