I dont know but i feel like the profit will be greater without kinect at $400 than having kinect at $500. But that is just IMO.

If it honestly is $200 (it would have to be for that developer to be correct), I simply cannot grasp Microsoft making the console for <$250. The articles I'm reading indicate the console itself costs more like $332 to make, an additional $15 for the controller, and $124 for everything else (including Kinect). The article then goes on to say of that $124, $25 goes towards the power supply, $10 to other box contents, and $14 to assemble. So that leaves $75 for Kinect if it is $471 in manufacturing costs alone (not even factoring in advertising, shipping, etc.). Considering Microsoft themselves stated they will break even and or make a slight profit on each console...it simply isn't reasonable to think the Kinect is costing them even $100.

Yeah they said they are making money from every console even with kinect bundled at $500 so why wouldn't they be making money now that it is cheaper and kinect is removed?
|
Because they are lowering the price by $100 when Kinect wasn't costing even $100 to produce.

Thats why i still think they will make a profit @ $400
