Xbox is an anomally. They dropped $2 billion on Live, $400 million on Rare, and slashed the price by $100 6 months after launch. This wasn't a strategy about making their system profitable over the long term. This was about building a brand to last generations.

Microsoft's better off focusing on Europe than Japan, though to do PS1/PS2 numbers would require everything in spades.
