Can someone answer this question objectively for myself?

I am thinking about purchasing some Microsoft, for the first time. I have been reading about the xbox and read that Microsoft looses approximately 150/machine per sale.

Now since the xbox sells for ~400, is this b/c the "guts" cost 550? Is the 150/machine loss factoring in the R&D and design work MSFT had to do?

Who is manufacturing the xbox? SLR or FLEX?

Thanks is advance...
