Wow, I knew they started poorly but I didn't realize they had yet to break even. They'd better do a good job with 360. I don't think a similar event with 360 would cause MS to drop out of the console race. I mean, this is Microsoft, one of the largest, most powerful, and richest corporations in the world. They can stand to lose some money, and the X-Box has been picking up steam. The first X-Box was a newcomer and an unknown when it came out, so many were apprehensive about it, but now that MS has (kinda) established themselves in the console market, I think the 360 will have a warmer reception when it comes out. Coming out long before it's two big competitors is sure to help, as well.
The Earthworker Race has ended. Everybody wins.
