"The combined costs of parts and manufacturing for the Xbox One comes out to roughly $471, almost $100 above Sony's PlayStation 4 ($381), according to a teardown report from IHS revealed by AllThingsD."

 

Xbox 1 ~ 471$ to make with kinnect.

 

 

Kinect is about 75$.

So that means Xbox without Kinect = 396$ to manufacture.

 

If you sell it at 349$ you lose atleast 47$ on each consol sale.

Factor in a game or two bundled like Assasins creed option (blackflag & unity), and the headphone chat set, along with cables that follow... The packageing, shipping ect.


I wouldnt be surprised if the overall loss on each sale is more than 80$.


ur totally wrong. ur numbers are just analyst estimates and extremely outdated

Computing and Gaming cost of revenue decreased, primarily due to a $265 million or 27% decline in Xbox Platform cost of revenue, driven by lower volumes and a lower cost per console sold.
