I guess SONY winning the 8th gen isn't even considered a possibility...

Sorry but finishing 2nd is still losing. So all three have lost. I don't see this happening next gen. Maybe the one after that. The reliability of the 360 will hurt the 720 to some extent.

 

How is it losing if you're making money?

 

WTF?? Microsoft lost 5 billion on original Xbox and 1 billion on RROD and they made small profit in Q4 2008. When it comes to videogames MS is one of the un-succesfull videogame companies

 

Ouch. Any proof to this? Link/Source?

Interesting stuff: When i googled ''Xbox losses'' i got more results with '' Sony lost 3 billion on PS3'' than ''MS lost 5 billion on Xbox''. I guess more people just want Sony to fail and like to read about it, while MS losing 5 billion is big secret.
