Profits from Console Sales

Postby Thoul » Wed Dec 17, '08, 8:12 pm

A recent Forbes article reveals how much Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are making from console sales. Can you guess how much the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii are bringing in?

Get this: Sony is taking a loss on each console. Microsoft breaks even. Nintendo leads the pack with a mere $6 profit on each Wii sold. I guess the real money is in the games.

The stores themselves have zero markup on consoles too - that's why they always try to make you buy a bundle package with games.
