New Don't.
Every XBox sale is one less sale to Sony or Nintendo or ...

The XBox just needs to be good enough to keep money from going to the competition. I don't think Bill really cares how much he's losing on it at this point. If it makes Sony spend more than they want, or keeps people from sending money to Sony, then he wins even if he loses.

Cheers,
Scott.

New In fact, they're on the record as losing money on this one.
Goal was to build share, not make money. XBox360 is supposed to be where they start raking in a profit.
When somebody asks you to trade your security for freedom, it isn't your freedom they're talking about.
