Let me know when you get back to reality will ya

You know, I haven't insulted you in my posts. As to your claim on XBox, according to initial reports, Microsoft is selling the new XBox at approximately a $136 per unit loss.

This was mentioned in my first post, that MS has deep enough pockets to operate at a loss in areas until they dominate the industry.

So what?
All very legal and above board.
The games business operates on initially taking losses on hardware and then making up the profits in software (the games).
Sony did the same thing with their playstations.
Plus its all has been reviewed by the Justice department and they are quite happy with it.
That's what matters, not the wild rantings of some Microsoft-hater on Internet boards.
