No kidding! This quote from Asha on #3 of her memo was CRAZY. She already talking about how much worse it'll be in a year and a half from now. "When I joined as CEO in February, the price we paid for console storage components was over 2x as high as we paid last fall. These costs have since doubled again. And as we plan for the 2027 holiday season, we expect another significant increase, taking us over 5x the prices we paid only two years earlier." |
If your losing that much money on each console sale..... why even bother trying to sell large amounts anymore? Why kickstart a new generation?
I'd be trying to cooldown things, and trying other ways to make revenue (atleast for short term, that makes so much more sense).
Like Pulling E-day.... is going to cost them millions (in profits).
And if they lose 100's of dollars on each console sold, and cannot keep up with hardware production as is.... why bother?
I assume part of the console exclusives is to try and push the platform.
Is the console exclusives just to try and fix consumer trust abit, for next generation? (so it doesn't suffer from the "series" generation of xbox's)
A long-term view, at the cost of current day profits.
I feel bad for Asha Sharma, honestly a mess she inherited.
