Well i made this thread to inform you on some stuff about these company's.
Normal xbox's or slims cost around $250. To make a xbox is costs less then $10 i heard. so they are making around $200 dollar profit if you think about it
How it works?
well there is always a "china" eh?
they buy bulk millions of parts from china for really cheap and build it in america. Really all they need is plastic and medal. Same with sony same thing.
Whole point of this thread.
i made this thread to inform you on how much it really costs to produce an xbox/ps3.
Thank to everyone who took the time to read this thread so not flame me thanks.
Remember i saw this on the internet and if you really think about it is true THANK YOU!!
No way this is even near accurate. There is no way it only cost $10 to make an Xbox. Even if the parts are bought in china. Even the natal costs $67 to manufacture. Up until a few months ago Sony was making a loss on every PS3 that was sold, They only recently started making a profit on them. When the Xbox 360 originally came Microsoft was losing about $300 for every console sold. Since the the have drastically reduced production costs and now have started to make a profit on the Xbox 360. Also account for shipping, tax and the amount the store makes when you are looking at the shelf price.
