    So they'd have to sell 5 million XBoxen a month to reach break-even 
status on the company's entire income. But by then Sony and Nintendo will 
be out of business so the price can go back up. Microsoft cannot lose 
this war. They may not win it, but they won't lose it. It's MSN all over 
again.
