High costs of gaming

I had a conversation with a relative over the 4th of July weekend about the costs of gaming consoles. I knew some basics like that M$, Sony and Nintendo all lose money initially on their game consoles due to the high mfg costs. But, what I didn't have were details. Well, I just found this article that lays it all out in a great amount of detail. So, if you want to know all the actual costs that go into making the Xbox 360 and Sony's upcoming PS3 check out this article .
