well let's see xbox360 is nothing more than a $50 DVD player with maybe $25-35 added power for gaming, and they sell for $199 with only 4g hard drive
vs
WII with $50 DVD player and maybe $10 added power for gaming and they sell for $ 149 and i don't even know if it even has hard drive
vs
PS3 with $100 blue ray player with maybe $25-35 added power for gaming, and they sell for $249 with an 160g hard drive well with this one we have added hardware features like built in wifi and bluetooth not really sure the cost on that

so yeah xbox360 is more profitable to start with

I don't think costs work exactly that way.

Haha yeah not even close. Who pays 50 bucks for a DVD drive ?
$15 for DVD drive $60 for Blu-Ray drive and that are just the prices that we get. Obviously it will be even cheaper in mass production for Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft.
However certainly much more than $10-35 for processor, RAM and GPU and other hardware bits.
