Loss $229 million, I thought they were making a great profit?


3 reasons:

They sell xbox 360 at a loss
Nextbox development
windows phone

They make around $115 per 360 and have made a few bill profit over the last 4/5 years from 360, why would they suddenly start losing money on them when they havn't dropped the price? You're just making stuff up now.

DAMN!

how did you come up with the $115 profit?

you got any links or is that just an educated guess??

if true, that would mean that it only costs $85 to make the arcade 360

they are BANKING majorly!

Googling tells me that it was *cough* Pachter *cough*.
Probably a bit high, but certainly more correct than a loss
