Sony and MS have no need to do this though do they?


"Need" and "should" are not quiet the same. Pretty much the same difference as "assholes" and "maybe somewhat nice."


What? They're businesses not charities ... gees expectations or what. Next you'll be saying MS should be sharing their profits with Nintendo.

What profits?

sorry, I had to.

Are you kidding?

MS make $8b profit a Q and about $1b profit on Xbox yearly!

Do you have a link for that? It's been profiting for 6 years now.

Their entertainment division which the xbox division is a part of, has been a continuous money sink for the entire duration of the Xbox line. They still havent recouped their initial investment and the operating costs while profitable as a business still leaves them in the red. But MS has a shit ton of money.

Well that's what Microsoft's investors say and the books that keep it detailed.

 

IF it has made them a profit then, according to them its "not enough"
