But this proves that you are talking out of your ass so to speak, your making stuff up on the spot just to bag sony. If u have a look you'll notice that microsoft lost alot of money on the xbox.  Even with 360 it hasn't been exactly profitable, in fact they lose $126 US per console sold.

Just have a simple look up next time rather than try and state something as fact when its wrong.

I'm calling bullshit unless you show me a link.

I haven't heard this figure before either.

@SaviorX

I believe evil_kenshin is referring to the 360 loss lead at the beginning of this generation. Not to any loss that Microsoft is having currently. I heard the figure cited a few times. Based upon the cost of components. This is typically forgotten due to the fact that few were paying attention way back when.

For instance there was a cost analysis that also said that of the three consoles the cost reduction on the Wii would be the slowest. Due largely to low end components that were not going to have chip reduction. Which was probably right as well, because have any of us heard about new processes for the Wii chip set.

God I miss the old analytical discussions from the very beginning of this generation.

*several months later

if you can take your link = -$126 for each console, then you can take this and say +$ for each console.
