Those are teardown prices, they don't include packaging, R&D, transport, or marketing. if a price-cut happens I don't think things will turn around until sometime in 2011.
Between the 360 RRoD and PS3 build-cost this is gonna be a generation that MS and Sony are going to wish they could forget. Neither will exit it having made a cent it seems. How they managed to mess it up is beyond me though. |
RROD was that bad for MS?
|
it cost microsoft over 1.8 billion total sofar since 2007, which is not that bad over all with Microsoft fixing the problem, it may have cost them more if they had not done what they did.
|
Isn't that the total losses for the 360? Not just RRoD.
|
nope that is the total to date on the RROD. which like i stated is not bad if you consider the number of faulted system's that they did have which was 11.6 million.
|
Where did you get that number then? Also, where did you get the number for the total systems they have repaired? Because that sounds almost exactly what the total losses on 360 were. RRoD was just 1 Billion of it.
|
robbie stated back in 2007, 11.6 million at the time had flaw's Microsoft set aside 1.8 billion to cover this cost!
1.2 billion was already used to upgrade the unit's as they came in and what product they had going on then forward. for the quarter back in 2007 out of the 1.8 billion 1.2 billion was spent in just that quarter out of the 1.8 billion, MS spent the money to fix the error's in production also they set aside more than they needed but the money was still already spent .

I'm gonna need some official links/sources. Sorry, but this all sounds very wrong and I don't trust random forum goer info without solid sources.
