If kinect is not bundled with Xone,it will not sell as much as they projected.(and invested for) Plus,their Titanfall moneyhat+marketing+free bundle must have cost a lot for MS. Plus²,the console by itself is not selling like they wished. So 1 billion loss for Xbox division actually make sense. On the other hand,it's michael pacter so MS probably earned 1 billion dolars. ;) |
Wait one fucking minute.
I said that the Xbox should have kept the Kinect and swallowed the loss, to give the XB1 value and sacrifice profit for marketshare. The response I got from fans was something along the lines of "MS wants to make a profit with Xbox. they can't make a profit if they drop the price and include the kinect"
Regardless of how much money they will actually lose, I find it quite telling that now Xbox fans are saying that a 1billion dollar loss doesn't matter and that MS can afford it. If MS can afford this loss, how can they not afford bundling the kinect at 399?
