they make money on each console.. they could have dropped the price at launch, so how is this faster then forcasted

LoL, what a shitty article

 

No, the Xbox One hardware is profitable at launch, the profit is a small one though.

Ah, whatever :D

I was wrong. Didn't read the article right, they make a couple dollars on each console.

That doesn't factor in marketing, distribution and warehousing costs. As well as the R&D costs. As always, the Xbox loses MS money and no one seems to notice.

I only agree on distribution costs, rest doesn't make a single xbox more expensive

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
