Actually it was because of a huge row with Nvidia that the original mk1 Xbox stopped so early.

Nvidia & Microsoft went to court over delivery schedules and pricing leading to Nvidia being dumped in favour of ATi in 2003 (3yrs before Xbox mk1 died).

It's also only fair to point out that the last game for it came out in late 2008, 2 yrs after it was discontinued.

I don't think anyone at Microsoft seriously expected the mk1 Xbox to make money as they were starting completely from scratch.

Besides the whole costs of everything Xbox (including the 360) last time I saw it came to around $5 billion.
Which is one single decent 1/4's net profits for Microsoft.
They could easily afford the losses. ]]>May 31st 2010 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/xmbc-bids-farewell-to-its-progenitor-the-original-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/xmbc-bids-farewell-to-its-progenitor-the-original-xbox/I want an i7 in my next Xbox... as long as it doesn't overheat. ]]>May 31st 2010 3:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/xmbc-bids-farewell-to-its-progenitor-the-original-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/xmbc-bids-farewell-to-its-progenitor-the-original-xbox/May 31st 2010 3:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/xmbc-bids-farewell-to-its-progenitor-the-original-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/xmbc-bids-farewell-to-its-progenitor-the-original-xbox/May 31st 2010 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/xmbc-bids-farewell-to-its-progenitor-the-original-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/xmbc-bids-farewell-to-its-progenitor-the-original-xbox/Same here.
