Everything from taxes, hosting services, power and cooling for servers, internet bandwidth, music/movie/game royalties and developer payouts is deducted from that 1 billion. So while 1 billion is an impressive number, the final result isn't quite that impressive. The OP says there was no spin, well you're wrong. |
Yeah, imagine if they didn't have subscription fees and such to offset these costs.
