@XxAK47xX Given their history, MS is making a profit or at worse losing very little. They profited on 360 hardware. They are using cheaper GPU and RAM than PS4. The only thing pushing them higher than PS4 is Kinect and a few inputs that don't add much $.
WiiU profits with 1 game sale, which probably is a lie, see no reason for it to cost that much to make even with the Gamepad. PS4 is much better value, even if Nintendo is telling the truth.
Launch PS3 20GB cost $805.85 to make, loss of $306.85 per sale. Launch PS3 60GB cost $840.35 to make, loss of $241.35 per sale.
Launch 360 Premium cost $323.30 to make, profit of $76.70 per sale. Consumers ripped off.
@Lambchopzin @Meta-Gnostic It is quite obvious you should have read the article when it says:
"The FIRST GAME will be a tabletop-like card game with mechanics designed by Christophe Boelinger, with YASUMI DIRECTING THE WORLD AND STORY DESIGN.
Following this, a TACTICS-STYLE STRATEGY GAME DESIGNED BY MATSUNO, Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians, will act as the follow-up, fleshing out the story introduced in the card game."
@FAIL_RETURNETH @Meta-GnosticThere's a big difference between investing money in studios and buying off others for timed exclusives and timed exclusive DLC.
Have fun funding via XBL for timed exclusive DLC for games you won't even own. Meanwhile, I'll pay Sony PS+ for free games and discounts.
