one thing i just thought of that contributed to the losses was the clearance of the fats. Those were probably manufactured costing $440, and they sold them at $300.

Very good point! Thats just about equivalent to what they were losing on each system at launch, so it's a logical argument.

well i wouldn't go that far, the launch models probably lost around $250 a piece.  They didn't have high sales at that time and it still cost them billions.  But yea the losses should go down next quarter, at least by half i would imagine.  If i do a quick ballpark calculation 500k systems at $140 loss is 70 million dollars.

Oh shoot, you're right. They were losing $240 around launch. My bad.
