If they sell a bundle with Kinect and Console for $300 - they will be making big losses

You have the figures ?

It's a very popular, educated guess.

Natal is probably being sold at MS's lowest point at the moment (ie Break even point). With a $300 bundle they are losing $150 - plus or minus any profit on the new 360 model.

Also take into account Kinect's huge marketing costs.

Care to disagree with my points? My intellectual superior... 

Oh no, I wouldn't dare to defy your points based on..... well, your total understanding, and superior knowledge about the X360 and kinect well supported with.... well, I can't say proof. But your total (help me out here) yes.... random numbers about it.

 

Oh no, Science help me

W.T.F?

Natal is priced at $150, the new console is priced at $299. That's all you need to know, and a bit of basic Business understanding.

$150 $299 = $449

If they are selling that for $300 - Guess what, chances are they'l be making a loss.

Ok.... Kinect is not yet priced, and there's still not X360 Kinect bundle, therefore there's also not a price for it.

 

Like you said, chances are.... what if Kinect is priced at 150, but it only costs 100 to make. They are making a $50 profit there. If they already make a profit on the X360, they wouldn't be losing a penny.

 

Since you don't know how much are they winning/losing on the X360, and you don't know how much kinect development cost, and best of all, you don't even know the price for it, or any bundles for that matter..... you can't make those type of  "educated guesses"
