Maybe if they sell this 'killer' for $50 they can 'win', at
least as far as number of sales are concerned. This was the
strategy taken with the XBox 360, which has accumulated
losses of 4 billion dollar (and still counting). This loss
is above and beyond expectations (hardware failures cost a
lot of unaccounted for loss). Then, Microsoft will change
the way it reports revenue/profits, by merging divisions and
hiding losses (saving face). I suspect that the
entertainment division is among those that already perform
poorly. Remember Bob?
Best wishes,
