Is MS's total investment in the 360, in the black?

the marketshares are soooo different. Every source tells you something different. But my personal impression is, MAC has like 2-3% maximum. Nobody uses a mac here in Germany. All good old windows.

the loss for the 360 is like 1.5 billion - 8 billion just in this thread. Noone knows exactly. But the xbox brand was quite okay, the brand is known and they will be established in the videogame industry at the end of this generation. And right now, they are actually making a profit. So MS has no reason to worry.

 

Actually Apple marketshare in the laptop/pc market has been steadily climbing as of late. It's sitting around 10% worldwide now but (just like the xbox lol) its strongest base is in the USA. Granted it's mostly driven by consumer demand tho. The only companies I know that are 100% on apple computers are farms with final cut server installed.
