PS3 a faster money sink than the Xbox? I can see why no price cuts soon.

You know that doesn't mean that the PS3 is still losing money, a few months ago we found out they were just about cutting even on the 40GBs.

In any case, hasn't the 360 lost like 7 billion not including all of the R&D?

 

This is all incorrect. The 360 has lost ~2.5 billion for Microsoft, and has now posted profits of ~550 million over the last 3 quarter. Second, the PS3 is not about cutting even, according to Sony, they are still losing ~130 dollars per PS3 shipped (although analysts estimate it could be even more).

MS try to make their books look good by hiding the 360 repair costs in some other division.

The total for that will be well over 1 Billion USD by now.  They are still failing...
