Methinks the math is flawed

Various Web sites are claiming that the new Xbox 360 will cost $375 to manufacture and will sell for $299. The news sites then turn this into a $76 loss per console to Microsoft -- not unusual, because the money is made on the video games. But I'm thinking the loss is going to be […]
