From what I've seen and heard so far...I may be moving on to the PS4.  It's going to depend on pricing and how their Live components work, though.  But I know that I could do without Kinect, and a monthly subscription for online gaming.  Xbox Live is superior right now to PS's service, but if PS4 can bridge that gap, and still keep it free...I'm sold.

Consoles usually break even, the 325 is probably what MS's take is going to be, the other 175 will go to the stores.

 

Remember its suggested retail price, if you think the that mark up is bad you should try whitewater kayaks, Cost 200 to make including labor and they sell new for $1100.  Yeah there are worse mark ups out there.

 

 

I know there's larger markup's out there, I was talking from a game system point of view. Systems usually loose money at launch and that's counting the store's take. (Which isn't that high, very little money made on the actual systems themselves by the store.) The money's made on the accessories and games. (stores only get about a 10 dollar markup on a game unless they do in store advertising for said game) 

 

 

Which is why the system selling for 500 when it's 325 to make is surprising. Typically in past generations the Xbox one would sell for 299 or 349.99 with that cost to make.

This, never thought MS would lose me but 500 MF dollars is outrageous, I'm seriously considering PS4 now, overall it's looking like it shaping up better, only issue is I like the Xbox controller a lot better.
