Despite sales it's still a shame Microsoft are only shipping to 13 countries.

Renovate They clearly made an absolute fortune then.


They have made a pretty good amount, keep in mind that the cost to make each unit is relatively high though. The money the make is really when they subtract the expenses from the revenue.

Fiji 1000per second wow wonder who is winning


The PS4 has a slight lead over the Xbox One from what i have heard.


Because of the price difference. If Microsoft would've made it cheaper, more people would've sided with them.
