All this proves is that MS made a much much bigger loss on the X1 hardware this quarter than the $63m figure in the article. |
You really don't get it. How do you think these companies make money?
Software, peripherials and subscriptions right? Guess which one of the console makers usually have the highest attach ratio on their hardware?
To make any assumption on how much MS is losing, you have to know the manufacturing cost of those hardwares.
