[quote][i]Originally posted by Rob_Quads[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by ssj_kakarot[/i] most consoles make a loss on the actual sale of hardware. the last generation the only company making money from the initial hardware sales were nintendo, both sony and microsoft were making a loss on the consoles, it is standard practise. not sure what happened towards the end of the consoles life though i presume the costs equal them selves out. tbh i dont think it matters, the first xbox lost microsoft billions. [/quote] I don't think thats the case - Sony was well into the Green on hardware after the PS2 - well the PS2 is still outselling the PS3/360 in some areas. The last Generation the XBox was the only one to stay in the red to the tune of around 1 billion. This generation I think the Wii is either breaking even or making a slight loss, the 360 lost for the first year but then went into making a profit this year (excluding the 1 billion for screwed consoles so they are really still in the red), and the PS3 is loosing money every console but is getting cheaper all the time (one of thier biggest limitations was lack of competition for parts like the laser where only 1 company made them) [/quote]
