X-box sales have skyrocketed the past year so its normal that their loss becomes less since they are earning back more and more of the development costs and are getting closer to break even point with every xbox sold.
Cell chip has unbelievable ammount of calculations it can do. I read its power was 10% of the worlds fastest supercomputer and they were measuring it in terraflops whatever that means. Sounded impressive anyway but I've learned that speed isn't everything in a console.
M$ not having backwards compatibility will lose them alot of fanboys, especially if sony and nintendo will have it which has already been confirmed I think. Also I think a large part of next systems succes will be the online part and if sony and nintendo can get a good service going without having to pay for it that can give them an edge over M$ assuming they will still charge for it (and I know not many agree with my online stance, but they can do wonderfull things with it)
This is one exciting year in game land. I can't wait for the E3.
