"Winners" of the console wars

Microsoft have lost ~$5 billion on the xbox, because they are selling them at a loss. I guess they are hoping to claw back the losses with pay-to-play subscription fees for .live

Sony has only lost a mere ~$1 billion on the PS3. Yay for them.

Nintendo are expecting a ~$1.5 billion profit on the wii and DS this year.

I think it is fairly clear to see who's winning.

The sad things is that we all end up paying more for our operating systems & televisions as a result.
