when factoring the total costs of the HD-DVD format including R+D that they were losing money on every player sold from day one even at full list price. When you consider discounted players it's even more of a loss. I'll bet the long-term goal was to make money on the players but it would've taken a few years to off-set the intial expense. Obviously that won't happen now, so the loss per unit sold is probably more than the retail price that it sold for. Therefore a couple hundred dollars each is reasonable.
Baba-Booey to you all!
