Yeah, systems this generation have taken a huge loss, except for the Wii. The PS3 lost a ton of money as well, and they're only profiting off of the PS2. The Xbox 360 is no where near making up for the billions they lost and they're not going to be able to this generation. They'll have to come up with a better Xbox for the next generation console.

I've got to say that you are right. Wii has made an incredibe profit. I was able to buy it no problem when it first came out, and have had no issues with it. But now, you try and buy it, and you cannot find it anywhere near where I live. They sell very quick, and are a very unique console. I love it. As for the PS3, I hear it's a piece of garbage. I was watching Electronic Playground and the guys from Sony were saying that they were going to start working more with the PS2 because they are getting so many more sales with it - which is kind of sad in a way. But you are definitely right, Microsoft won't be able to bounce back from all the money they have lost, mind you, I don't think that Bill Gates would care too much. I hope that they can come out with a new console that won't break every six months soon. *fingers crossed* Because this is ridiculous. But I fix RROD XBOX consoles anyway, about to be customizing them too.
Poor modification skills? What's to modify?

Depends on what one means by "modification". Because some people just modify the guts, other people modify the entire cosmetic piece to it - the box itself. Like I know one person, who took the guts out of the XBOX, put them into a tower and has extra fans and stuff to prevent it from heating up. Other cosmetic modifications I've seen are people put lights inside. One of my friends did it, stupid kid opened it with warranty still on it. He better pray it doesn't break. Some people make it so that your XBOX is reverse compatible with regular XBOX games, but unfortunately for them that's already the case I believe. Some people make it so that you can played burned games. It all depends on what you are looking for when you think "modification". Because the XBOX consoles that we fix run out of warranty we're going to start fixing them and customizing the cosmetic part to them - the box and that? But the thing with the guts, even with cosmetic is that if you don't know what you're doing - you can screw up bad. Hense "poor modification skills". =]
