Since console makers typically sell consoles at a loss on hardware, and make it up on the software (games) and accessories, any game console that's running linux is going to end up being a money-loser.
The PS2 linux kit is an add-on accessory, so Sony might actually break even on it. But Xbox linux just uses the existing hardware, so Microsoft almost definitely loses money on it.
