The 360 loses money per unit. Not as much as PS3 mind you, but it isn't even close to breaking even. The only consoles currently breaking even are last gen systems and the Wii.

HDMI doesn't tickle my fancy, since I don't even have an HDTV. The point I like that might make me wait is the possible inclusion of a 120GB HD. That alone might make me waitm, because I have a funny feeling it alone will be priced around $200. And having a cooler processor does have it's perks obviously.

I wonder how the fanboys are going to deal, especially with the fact that they'll have to buy a new proprietory HD. At least with the PS3 you cna swap it out with any SATA HD on the market, as long as it fits.

I wonder with these new hardware additions if the Xbox's Firmware will see updates, and where that leaves the people without the new hardware?

Um no, go check your facts. The 360 is making money or at least breaking even.

Current speculation is that Microsoft will go from pretty much breaking even on the 360 to turning about a $40/per unit profit with this update. As many of the newer components are cheaper to produce.

Unlike the *massive* loss that Sony is taking on every PS3.
