pyroboy926-CPLia-CPZENU96 So if we buy a xbox one we're getting what we paid for. But they're making a huge profit off of each xbox.
That is a horrible markup and the profit is minimal. They really shot themselves in the foot for selling it for only $500.
Not really, they will make a lot of money through games. The same thing happened with the 360, they lost moneyat the start of the 360's life and from then they've made quite a lot.
You are just talking out of your ass because you obviously have no idea what you are saying. The PS3 was sold at a loss (basically) and had to make money off of games. The 360 was nothing but profit. Now, the tables have turned completely. Do not try to tell me I am wrong, for I have actually taken the time to research the situations and I am taking accounting and business classes.
By any chance are you sitting in a bath tub of your own period blood?

TouchableVepr That's quite a large sum of money, no wonder it costs a lot to buy, they need profit.
AxeMicrosoft invest billions in to just research alone...DreamsNDSU Cost is 499$ and they are saying it takes them $471 to build one. My ass Microsoft will only get around 20-30$. I don't believe this.
it all adds up they sell millions of consoles
Its not like all of that money goes straight to the companies wealth. A lot of that money will most likely go towards microsofts many staff salaries, and stuff like this as well.
They do and that is because they can. I would bet that Microsoft is within the top 5 companies in the world if your talking money.
