I'm going back and re-reading all the old threads using IE. It's a brand new, digitally authentic experience.

Don't all the console makers lose money on the consoles? The profit is in licensing fees to the game publishers, and in selling accessories.

They used to to various degrees, and it's possible Microsoft does now out of price drop desperation (and because they made bad long-term decisions on components), but they're all trying to avoid selling below cost because it's too difficult to recover from.

ms lost waaay more than just that writeoff on the 360, the actual red ring disaster cost them more than $2 billion, they spent around $5b launching the 360 in the first place [after the first xbox (the xbox one) cost them a couple billion too], they had a few decent quarters where the E&D [includes hardware and game revenue] division made like $200-500mil but I'd be surprised if the overall xbox balance sheet was under 3 bil in the red they were basically given a blank check in 2004 to "beat sony" then sony beat themselves and nintendo sold 100000000 wiis and the 360 ended up in the exact same market position as the original xbox so when it came time to design the xbone it got all windows upped

xbox one really goes well with microsoft's focus on productivity because it's a bad console and makes you want to work instead

I think that might have been the same quarters. makes you think...

This follows Nintendo's overall profit of of ¥24.8 billion ($207 million, £136 million) for its fiscal year ending March 31. yes, nintendo is profitable and well-run. sorry that you're retarded

i went into best buy today for the first time in years, since i figured buying compressed air online could be a mailing hastle? idk but wow that store has changed. it's all balkanized up into sub-stores now microsoft's is the biggest. i wonder how much they paid for their like 8% of best buy's total floor space and as usual the microsoft store was empty except for someone looking at the nearby printer ink, while apple's two tables had like ten people google had a table too thanks for reading

it also makes it easier for blue-shirts to attach accessories because you don't have to walk people all over the store; products being sorted loosely by brand means that you have all sorts of matching attach options right there the companies get to show off their entire eco-system 'as envisioned' it's annoyingly effective for everybody involved
