Off topic, but don't go too far overboard - after all, we are watching...heh.

For M$, now is the time to strike against Sony in the Japanese market. Under normal conditions, Xbox just can't compete with Sony in Japan. But I think where Sony has stumbled and PS3 won't be around, M$ is trying to shovel everything they can into Japan and attempt to establish a foothold. Look at this way, right now, they have no competition, but the clock is ticking.

Considering the source, 'Xbox Today' , I don't take it too seriously.

The article is accurate, they're just talking about the cost, not the sale price. The PS3 will probably be $500 or so. It's quite common these days for console makers to lose money on the consoles for the first year or two. After a while, the costs drop dramatically and they turn a profit, plus they make money of the licensing rights to game developers.
Even at $500, given the timing, I really think Sony has finally blew it.

You should all be getting XBox's anyway if you don't already have one. The xbox and 360 just kick ass.
