Is this the first generation we don't anticipate losses?
The 360 and PS3 lost billions for various reasons for the first few years. I imagine the goal is to make it back down the road. |
Yea that used to be the way it was done except Nintendo always made me on there consoles apparently. This generation though the goal was to make money on the console from the get go that way you end up with more money overall. MS has obviously had to revise that plan and with investors already complaining after what many felt was a great victory for 360 taking a huge step back like this can't be a good thing.

Well making money is still a possibility. It seems like the console manufactuers played it safe with specs. They don't seem to be sacrificing a lot of money with each unit sold.

Eh I guess anything is possible I just think it's very very hard for them to still be making money while cutting the cost by $150 in one year. They removed the Kinect which I guess we can say is $100 and that's it. There's still another $50 dollars that I just don't see how they could have dropped the manufacturing cost by that much. Espicially when I quick google made it seem like DDR3 prices have increased not dececreased. Either way though making money off the console is never the goal it just make it easier to be profitable when every console sales adds money not makes you lose money.
