I'd say a couple million is a lot, if you don't believe do some research
And according to the article it take $800 to make a PS3 and they wanna sell it for $500 which is a loss of $300
Xbox 360 takes $430 to make (don't quote me on that but its close) so they are lossing like for the core i think $30 and for the premium $130 |
I have a lot more friends that dont play online vs playing online so don't act like everyone wants to play online. Also if you read what I said NOT EVERYONE! Another thing if you knew anything you would know that Merryl Lynch was incorrect on their estimate anyway (no I don't mean how they said $900 when it was actually $800 in their math) when if fact almost everything is done in house so its cheaper, so it probably means more like $600-$700 price range if not cheaper. Lastly, Halo 2 may have sold many copies, but every person I talk to that has it (not just people around me but from other states and countries) considers Halo 2 a flop.
P.S. Microsoft is losing their grip too because they can't even maufacture enough 360's I have only seen 2 360's for sale in store before every other one was reserved and people could only at the most buy one and the amount in stock was maybe 12 and that was at Best Buy. IMO they are the ones losing money and I bet it costs more than $430, because most consoles take a few years before they even come close to making profit (if you don't believe me look at the original XBox sales and how much profit they made from consoles alone, then also see yet another reason why Microsoft wanted to get their machine out first). Yet another Microsoft fanboy.
