How do you know? I am pretty sure that MS, at this point, loses a lot more, and I mean _a LOT more_ on every 360S sold than Sony loses on every PS3S sold. (This has to do with people not understanding the difference between manufacturing costs and production costs - a destinction many do not seem to grasp).
And if the software estimates are anywhere near what they are given here (...no increase at all), MS does not ofset the losses from the hardware in any shape or form, at this time. This all bogs down to being able to shout "Look how we sell more hardware than our competitor" at the top of their lungs, at whatever costs the shouting is accompanied by.
