Also Rick game consoles and PC software are 2 different animals. When Microsoft lowered the prices for a loss it was not to save the consumer money on the console, it was to make more money in licensing. Licensing is the big win for gaming consoles and seeing that Microsoft is king of the software licensing in the world, they easily saw that opportunity.

Remember also if they drive prices lower and lower on the simulators then the quality could be lowered as well. Or at least not have the budget to spend to make sure that they can produce the best sim as quickly as possible. There is a reason that the prices for these sims are set high, it's not just to get all the money they can suck up. RC markets are very small, much smaller then most people realize.
