This is something I heard as well since the X-box has supposedly cost Microsoft between one and two billion dollars. I have heard that Microsoft was hoping to make a simplified Microsoft computer as the home computer of the future and wanted to test the idea with the X-box. Considering they are thinking of not having a hard drive in the X-box 2 I now realize they have given up on that idea and are now just trying to make a game machine. Like most of their ventures outside the computer world Microsoft is burning money with the X-box. This is one of the main reasons they are releasing the X-box 2 so quickly. They hope to lower their costs and maybe even start making a profit.
