no the overall aim of the gaming division. But if there is something in there like the X1 giving huge loses it's not good for it no matter what you say and they won't be happy. BTW my common sense is telling me MS has lost money on the X1 product from the day they started researching it's design. And with the way sales have gone WW and the drastic fire sale type price cuts i reckon it will be many a year before they re coup the costs. |
and all that is just based on ur knowledge of what?
and what about sony and the ps4? they made a profit since day one?
yes loosing money sucks for every company. thats the reason, why ms did not cut the xb1 price by 100 bucks but released a kinectless version
and even if they loose money on an xb1 sold at 349. its not much. its not enough to make an overall loss for the xbox divison. not like the years of the original xbox and the early years of xb360.
and yes r&d costs money for all prodcuts. but that are costs, they already accounted in theire earnings years ago
did u notice the increas in costs for xb the last quarter? that was due to the launch in more territories.
the 50bucks pricecut /pro will account in this quarter.
xbox is profitable since years now. and that wont change in the near future
