Because people seem to be pissed that I stated MS knows how much they're expected to lose/not make by selling Kinectless bundles, giving Xbox Live refunds, Games with Gold, Deals with Gold, and games in development. They have their own analysts, its obvious that they're prepared to lose a good amount since they're doing all of this in the first place. 180's take money, MS has it. Better to do it now than be stubborn, not change anything and lose even more money every Fiscal year. |
Your defensive posture and passive aggressive sony trolling is confusing me. The majority of posters here are commenting on the fact this is Pachter and not MSFT making an official declaration regarding their funds.
MSFT knows exactly what theyre doing financially as evidenced by every single quarterly report they release (imo, id better flag it as imo because no one in 2014 can understand subjective comments as being that without declaration), however this entire premise is built on Pachter and not actual figures.
Hypothetically you, Pachter and everyone here have NO IDEA what it will A) cost MSFT (if anything) and B) What they are willing to tolerate or handle in regards to the overall picture.
MSFT isnt as successful as they are because they waste money, this is what people assume about rich people and companies that are successful. They get that way due to exceeding at management and big picture. Rich people dont over tip because they "have the money". This idea is what drives companies into the ground.
MSFT had a vision with the Xbox brand that turned profitable (Gold, exclusives, US domination and relevent in EU) and would have been immensely more profitable if RROD hadnt happened, their vision was realized theoretically. Time will tell if they feel confident enough in taking over the living room via the Xbox brand to sink hypothetical money into it to make it last.
