Cooke 2,026 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 What's the point of being in this business if you aren't making any money? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They make their revenue on XBL and Gamepass subs. That's all these boxes are for is to pump up those subscription numbers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if Sony will sell their digital only console at a similar price to compete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaz 2,439 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 they should ditch the xschrott and go full pc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goukosan 2,249 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 how is this news, don't all console pamanufacturers take a loss at launch on hardware? Console manufacturers make lion share of money from software and services. They only make money off the hardware when overtime the cost of components go down as the gen goes on.

Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 TBH I'd rather have MS and Sony thinking about future Pro models, coming in the next few years, rather than a model that's 1/3 the power just to appeal to grandmas buying christmas presents. Imagine a 4tflop console in 2023 if a 20tflop PS5 launches. The spec difference in configurations will be pretty jarring. By the end of the gen the S will be a 900p/1080p machine. I guess that's fine at the end of the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,227 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 and they're going to set a large, if not a majority, of that Series S stock for Xbox All-Access. They want to lock people into 24-month payment plans, like cell phones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,550 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 ...like every console launch ever. The hardware is just about getting a customer through the door. You make the money once they are part of your ecosystem (Eg, Sony makes the vast majority their money from PSN, MS hoping to do it through GP) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
