Microsoft is making money, but they still need to make a lot to get the 360 out of the red. Wouldn't you like to see atleast one HD console in the black this gen? We both know Sony ain't gonna get there. I used to pay $10 - $15 dollars to play a single MMO. Now I pay considerably less to play 360 games online. |
I agree strongly with the idea that the HD consoles should be making profit. Still I think Microsoft should focus on doing it in ways that benifit the consumer. You know man, like make new IPs like Halo, Gears, or Fable so that the consumer gains something and not to continue trends of increasing services that are already profitable.
Its cool you paid to play what you like, but the practice of getting a consumer hooked on something and then going on to increase its value with the full intention of knowing your consumer is hooked and will continue to pay is not a practice that benifits anyone but the already rich. Its minipulation and a method of control that only those with tons of money can do. It may be the principle of capitalism to always be looking for greater profit, but at some point you must demand mutual benits from a company and not just have them demand more of you. BTW I would criticize MS less if they did what I said earlier and made more true exclusives.
