I'm not really too pleased by the idea that Microsoft might be able to out-loss Sony and Nintendo on machines. It means more expensive games in the long run, possibly less money for game developers (and thus less selection), and potentially a market with only Microsoft.
There are supposed to be anti-dumping laws that stop companies from flooding a market at a loss to force others out - do these laws apply to technology sectors, or only to natural resources? If they apply to both, no one can super-short their console prices.
