After nearly a decade of toil and billions of dollars burned, it's time for Microsoft to show that it can make money at something besides software. It's time to turn a profit on the Xbox.
Of course, to fault Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) for the billions burned on the Xbox, its clumsy effort to trump Apple's iPod with the Zune digital media player, and its lackluster online efforts is to miss the big picture. Few companies are better at making money than Microsoft.
so it would seem like, as long as Halo does Halo MS will be making money by the start of October, I say gratz to them, their finally out of the hole and making some money on the Xbox.
I do however agree with Forbes their going to drop the price of the system which may induce some stalling in how long it takes to make profit, but its prob for the best
They are new to the hardware game. I think they are turning a profit faster than they thought they would.
Initially I thought they estimated over 10 yrs to turn a profit. I do remember an interview where they stated that they saw XBOX as an investment, that will build over time.
"FLAMED BROILED STYLE"
Not surprising really, I'm just wondering what kind of world we would have if Microsoft and Sony banded together =]
Sounds tasty.
sounds to me like a 10 00 dollar consoles
