Another price-cut for Microsoft? How much money are they losing with Xbox One?

There was some information somewhere regarding how much each console cost to make.

I think the Xbox One w/ Kinect was $471. Without would cost about $395. This is at launch however. But I doubt production costs would've dropped too significantly.

This, combined with bundling games (Publishers aren't going to give out bundle copies for free!) Microsoft is definitely losing at least some money on each console sale. Other than the 1TB CoD bundle. They'll have to rely on software royalties on future purchases, and get some stable income from XBLG subscriptions.

... the price of DDR3 actually increasing since launch ...

 

Don't use prices for consumers to infer what hardware manufacturers pay for chips/parts.
