huh? first of all the x1 supposedly makes about 30 bucks of profit just on the hardware alone.



That was when the console was first released at $500. With all the price drops they are losing a lot of money now on each console.


$500 is still the msrp.  A week where retailers had a sale does not equal a permanent price reduction.  Also, as manufacturing has geared up, the margin could only have gotten larger.
