Microsoft is planning to break even, or make a profit, on sales of its Xbox One from launch, something the company did not manage with either the launch of the original Xbox or Xbox 360.
Speaking at the Citi Global Technology Conference earlier this week, as reported by GamesIndustry, Xbox chief marketing officer Yusuf Mehdi said that "we're looking to break even or low margin at worst" on Xbox One. Games companies often sell consoles at a loss in order to quickly establish an installed base of users, in the belief that profits will eventually be reaped by sales of games or paid online services.
"As we can cost-reduce our box as we've done with 360, we'll continue to price reduce and get even more competitive with our offering," he said. "You've seen us over the years constantly be focused on profitability and improving year over year. If you look at 360 that platform lasted for seven to eight years and it's going to go for another three years. It's incredibly profitable now in the tail."

企业不以赢利为目的而是变福利机构?怪不得SONY现在亏的他妈也不认识,到处借债还债,借不到就卖大楼。原来他客户群都是这种货,巴不得SONY亏本卖游戏卖游戏机卖电视卖手机,最好PSN所有游戏免费,GTA5还没发售就能下来玩,喷了![]()
