Do you guys think MS is making big losses with the X1 right now?


Supposedly they were profiting off XBO when it first launched so id say no. 

Depends what you count as big, I imagine at the least it's an $80 loss per console.

My guess is about $30  or less.  Hardware gets cheaper each year so the price to manufacture should have went down a bit.  But that is jist me guessing so yeah lol




       

Didn't the manufacturers already developed a smaller and more efficient chip for X1? That would drive the price down; also, with the un-bundling of Kinect, I believe they have more room to maneuver with pricing.

We hear about hardware cost reductions, nothing has been said about XB1 yet. Kinect is quite cheap to make as well. Factor in the free games and I would estimate around $100 lost per console.

MS don't get costs down as fast as Sony for some reason.

The new south park was about people streaming games and how Kyle hates it (and a little more stuff) very enjoyable :).



Man I am done with Halo MCC, patch made it worse for me. Slower search times, no BTB, always back to the playlists selection after a game and to close it off I'm always part of a team with less players getting their ass kicked by a team that plays together. Also have a feeling all normal people stopped playing and it are only the diehard fans who continue, it just isn't fun anymore. 343 and their incompetence /RANT



I would like to see US's first week of December sales.
X1 AC bundle have been beasting on Amazon, Target, BestBuy and Walmart (biggest lead I believe).
Gamestop is PS4's as there are better deals for it. GTA & TLOU bundle and a camera for $399.

Im the same. This i thought was going to bring ppl back to Halo because they definitely left for COD. Then this mess happened. It's quite sad.
