Microsoft will not make a profit from the console. Just like all the other console makers the business model is to sell the machine at or below cost and to make money from the sale of software. Microsoft are aiming to publish 30% of the X-Box software and in addition get a royalty on every unit that other publishers ship. That is where the money is.

A pretty old but accurate issue of NextGen told me that MS has set the price CAP of the x-box at $500 and no more.

Hey hey hey! Watch cutting on play station. I know the all the games aren''t that great but at least you can play the final fantasys, Lunar, Tactics Ogre, and other cool games. So please back off.
