Microsoft make a $126 loss on every Xbox they sell (http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6140383.html). Why? Because their intention was never about gaming; it was always about getting into the family room in a guise other than a beige PC (http://www.iese.edu/en/files/6_19121.pdf).
They’ve moved 1 large step closer with this now as they have tied up with Sky & launched the Sky Player directly into the Xbox Live service, meaning you can watch Sky archived content on your TV.

Next stop? Probably the iPlayer if the Beeb has their way: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2008/04/bbc_iplayer_on_play_station_3_1.html
