Forums - Sales Discussion - Console Wars abhor a tie

That Guy said: By comparison, Xbox360 costs about 600 to make. They are selling at like 400, so they're losing 200 with every console they're selling.
I think your guess is a bit off. The guesses of the production costs of the Xbox 360 are more in the region of 340. Although this still means a small operating loss, they are more or less at the break even point with the premium version.

i was actually talking out of my butt when it came to actual production prices. Does anyone have the real prices? I know Wii actually breaks even (maybe even makes 10-15 bucks) and I know that PS3 is a huge loss leader. ::EDIT:: Here is an old article I found from google http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=52214 is there anything newer and more accurate?
