Again where are you getting your numbers? I went out to the Microsoft site and pulled the numbers from Microsoft Annual reports. You are correct that the 360 has not yet made back its investment. Yet it will. The same cant be said yet about the PS3. The 360 has at least 4 more years of profitability to make back the investment and then some.

The fiscal year currency exchange averages were calculated using FXHistory.
I think 360 will recover its losses in about 4 years, same with PS3
