Sorry to follow this off-topic but solely in the interest of trying 
to stop the propagation of yet another MS lie:  ;-)

Wrong. Sony does make a profit on every PlayStation sold. This has 
been reflected yearly in their annual reports and at stockholder's 
meetings.

Nintendo may now be selling their hardware below cost, although 
traditionally they have not done so. If so, this practice is clearly 
in response to the X-Box pricing. Historically speaking, they never 
sold previous systems at a loss.
