Doom! Doom! Yes, I say DOOM!!

Although, if they keep making all this money it's going to be hard to burn through that $100 billion cash they have sitting around.

Good job Microsoft.

Haven't Nintendo patented doom claims? You'll be sued

Ah, yes,  probably,  but a patented communication so I'm good.

But you all owe me money!  Ha ha ha

But seems like people here aren't good at math.  Microsoft as spent over a Billion dollars per year on research.  No so much 'easy high margin products.' lol

Samsung is the one of the few major companies that comes close to the R&D cost investments.

 

You'll have to find my pigbank if you want my money.

Doesn't matter much how much you invest on R&D or marketing, the discussion is that the profit margin are very very high. I don't like it, and don't buy, but if people want to, I see no problem with they expending their money as they want and a company picking that money. But mine they only get when the price is right for me.
