Actually while you were banned if you would have taken that time to do a little research you would have read that the only profit that microsoft is making is on the software side of 360 and live. They were losing 126.00 dollars on every 360 sold before they dropped down to the 199$ price point and we will never know how much they are losing currently because of the way they report their end of the year earnings. As far as sony losing the money the got from the ps2? I call B.S. because last time I checked they make a profit on the psp as well and the ps2 is "still" selling and has not stopped. So the profit you are talking about has grown by times 50 over the years and helped finance the ps3 which is profitable in europe currently and soon will be profitable this year in the United States. references: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6140383.html http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/21/analysts-playstation-3-profitable-by-august-smaller-chips-like/ http://n-europe.com/news.php?nid=10778 already profitable in europe since last year

If you're going to correct somebody and accuse them of not researching a topic then it is usually good practice to not quote articles that have no relevance at all. The Gamespot article is dated from 2005 so I can only assume if you think the 360 costs didn't drop in the 2 years till the price drop then you know nothing on the subject. Also the article you quoted to show how rosy the profit situation is for the PS3 was written in 2007 and doesn't take into account the economy now and the damage the strong Yen is doing to Sony's exports.
All in all your argument is severely flawed and ultimately a epic fail (to quote others on here).
