| WilliamWatts said: It makes sense. Which makes me wonder how aggressively they might price the Xbox 360 given the fact that Live is so incredibly profitable for the Xbox 360. Live alone will probably pay back every dollar they lost thus far on the Xbox 360 within the next 5 years. |
Just by the pure numbers, the Xbox 360 is in the red about 2 billion USD I think. But as we all know, the EDD carries the Zune, Windows Mobile, Kin, Surface and other not profitable businesses. So the real number might be even lower.
That means that 1 year of XBL would be enough to cover the money spent on the Xbox 360.
I seriously can't wait to see how the EDD will perform in the next 2 years. I really hope that Windows Mobile 7 will be a success as well. With Kinect, Xbox 360 slim, great software lineup, XBL fees and sales and Windows Mobile 7, I think it might do 1 billion USD profit per year. Plus the one billion USD they made in the past 12 months.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
