I like x's and I like boxes so I like xbox. Plus Battlefront and Halo people keep me company.

in other news, it was revealed today by kaz hirai, ceo of sony corporation, that sony will lose money with every ps3 slim sold. interesting.

That doesn't make much sense unless they are making games that are strictly for the Slim...

i believe he meant it strictly pertaining in terms to hardware alone...every ps3 slim console sold is a loss of money. however, the company makes up for it in software and peripherals sold.

True, I know it's all about market share when it comes to video games, but I figured that typically it was the games that made up the loss.

When you buy a console, you are paying for the massive R&D AND the expensive equipment (basically a computer).

When you buy a game, you are only paying for the R&D.  CDs don't cost anything.
