RE:"Consoles are generally sold under cost, at a steep loss. Some analysts were estimating that if Microsoft priced their console at $375, they'd be taking a loss of about $150 per console" Seems to me the Analysts are way off base. OTOH, Microsoft could always give an MSN rebate on them. X-Boxes would be virtually free with $300 MSN 3 yr sign up. Cable would be nice. Don't think MS doesn't have a trick or two up their sleeve. RE:"So that means Intel might be charging MS as much as $230 per cpu. ;)" That's a good one... Jim Hey, wouldn't a Morgan do well in an XBOX? I'm sure Jerry would sell them for $225.
