If they can get an exclusive game or 2 from S-E at launch, a broader spectrum of games from day 1 and make XboxLive free and a $299/£250 starting price then it will sell like wild fire in Japan,NA and Others but is that going to happen... not a chance, maybe the starting price and a broader spectrum of games but i doubt S-E will support an American product from day 1 and i doubt MS will make Live free seeing as it pays to keep the servers running.. only just though.

About the MSGD (Microsoft Games Division) money wise, it is still in debt and even thought they make a profit on each X360 sold they still lose money month after month, i dont know why it might be because the Zune is part of the division... for some unknown reason.... but that will soon chance in the new fiscal year i believe, then they might be seeing a profit and if there not then it is because they are making more X360's than they are selling AND that the Live servers cost more to keep up than they get in from subscribers.

MSGD made a good chunk of money last quarter did they not?
