X360 only 630k more units than PS3 for the whole of 2007

I don't understand how people can claim that the PS3 is barely losing money now but MS won't drop the price by $100. The Xbox was losing less money at launch then the PS3 at launch. It's been 2 years and they have only dropped it by $50. The PS3 is now half the price it was quoted as costing at launch and people say "oh sony is probably only losing $50 to $100 dollars" wouldn't Microsoft, the richest company in the world, be losing less if not making a bunch of profit after two years. They could probably drop the price $100 and still barely lose money one the cheapest model. I bet they make almost $100 on the premium and probably more on the elite.

If MS finds itself in a position where it is losing ground to the PS3 then it will drop prices and bundle things and go all out like Sony did. I can easily see that making up for not having major exclusives. Problem is it does have great games.

Also the argument about how 360 has nothing left in the way of exclusives is stupid. People walk in looking to buy a system and their choices are PS3 and GTAIV or a 360, GTAIV and Halo 3. My guess is it will cost the same when GTA comes out. Also they might want to pick up an older game maybe like Bioshock, Crackdown, Mass Effect, or Gears or something. See every big game that comes out has a lasting effect. People don't just look at whats coming out today, or tomorrow, they look at whats already out.
