I did a story on Geeksters.org yesterday about the release:

http://www.geeksters.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=411

I will be doing a story today that Business Week calculates a loss of $126 for each XBox sold. There is hype for the product because of it's architecture and CPU. This could have been the CPU that Apple moved to before they announced their switch to Intel. The hype may die down though when reviews come in about playability and how well the games are created.

Are you sure that is a LOSS and not a PROFIT? That doesn't sound right to me.

I Agree that the Long Term outlook for this Platform depends on Reviews and the Quality of Games and the Overall Playability of the XBox 360, but for the next month or so the "Coolness" Factor makes this Tech Toy THE Hot Item for the X-Mas Season. Most sold out in hours of going on sale and now stores have started "Back-Order" lists. And who said we have to Grow up anyways? lol

I think they will get good reviews, I have played it and love it.. The graphics are excellent..You need to get the $399 one to play the older X-Box games though... They aren't clear on that fact...Its to bad that a lot are now on Ebay, just like the PS2 when it came out ??? By the way I ain't neva gonna grow up ;D

well pretty much the point of these new consoles systems is that they jus have super bad ass graphics.........now as far as right now the xbox is relying on the hype but in reality ive read all the reviews to the games that are now right now and these games suck so pretty much as of right now the 360 really aint all that..........good thing though is that it plays old xbox games but in that case might as well buy a regular xbox and wait till 360 comes out with bad ass games and the price lowers...............me on the other hand.......im waitin on the ps3
