What is the cost to make an X1?

We will never know. But being optimistic and assuming it costs $349 to manufacture, and considering they bundled 2 games with it, and retailers also offered another full price free game with it also on black friday, retailers were technically selling each X1 for $229. But that's assuming MS pay Ubisoft $60 for each X1 AC Unity bundle sold. 

If you break down the $60 price, you would know that not all of the pie goes to the publishers. Especially, when the games are digital.

Ok, but how much do think goes to publishers in this situation? $20? $40?
