This is not an investment. Unless they can be profitable with 360 at least -- it's ain't no investment, but money burn.
Gimme a break, the losses on XBOX outside of the RRod was expected, the wanted in the living room and to slow down the Sony Juggernaught. They came in the market up against the PS2 which was riding off the uber success of the original Playstation.
Guess what? because of the XBOX, MS made a name for themselves as a major player in the console war. They have managed to cater well to the hardcore player and while they are flopping trying to get sloppy seconds from the Wii's casual market, nobody would have predicted that Microsoft would be in the number 2 spot and Sony would be scrambling to play catch up.
