Michael Pachter told Bloomberg that he estimates each console sold nets Microsoft about $115 in profit.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
I figure the 4GB model will get reduced to $159.99-$179.99 later this year.
And that doesnt include the pretty penny M$ is making off of XBOX Live subs.
That is almost criminal! I'd be appalled if I wasn't so impressed.
Now this is how you run a profit making company; well.
If a base 200$ console nets 115$ in profit, and you subtract from the total the retail share (which should account for at least 50$ or 25% in the usual case), it means that the costs of the console to Microsoft (including parts, manufacturing, assembly, packaging and shipping ) is less than 35$!
Makes sense? Nope. But then again Patcher never did make much sense with his past statements...
I think M$ bank around $1bn a year just from XBL gold subscriptions. That doesn't include DLC,Arcade games etc...
M$ have probably made more money than Nintendo's Wii have for them this gen when you factor in the LIVE pricing...
