hell even the 360 is still losing money on each console made...

I'm hearing conflicting reports on this, and haven't seen any reliable source confirming it either way. This probably means that if the 360 is losing or making money, it's a very small amount (i.e. close to break even point).

i remember an article about this last week i'll look it up and post it... what you are hearing are fans saying that its making a profit you never once heard microsoft say that..... people just assume since ps3 is losing money that the360 is making money.. its time to inform people of the truth

Well, as far as I remember it was not just fans saying so, also some news websites. I'm not saying those are reliable enough, as you can see in my original post, but "it's time to inform people of the truth" sounds a bit pretentious unless you have a really good source. I hope you do have one, because I'm curious about this issue.

you know what after reading alot of threads today of what people think.. i dont even think it matters if i post a link... its from a gaming website but thats not even a good enough souce anymore i guess..... people are gonna think what they wanna think no matter what.. so its not even worth it... Microsoft themselves could say we wont make a profit off the 360 until 2008.. and people would still not believe it so it doesnt even matter dude.. people think what they wanna think and thats that

Nice dodging!

You are right that a gaming website probably doesn't cut it though, unless they are respectably quoting someone involved in the production of the Xbox 360. The reason I say this is that all other sources say contradictory things and they're as good as each other, so not informative enough!

Example of a semi-respectable website saying the 360 is making profit on each sold unit:

I could find you hundreds of those websites, yet it wouldn't prove anything since they are not quoting Microsot directly. I suspect the same happens with the websites which say the opposite.
