| 407265 | 2005-11-25 03:48:00 | Making millions? The last Xbox lost 4 billion to date, The new one has a loss built into it of $126 american dollars for every single unit sold, the more they sell the bigger the loss. So they should quite easily beat the $4 billion benchmark they set last round. Expect the Premium Xbox to be over $1000 when it hits the NZ market As to why so late? Because they have to supply the bigger markets first, Same for nearly everything that is ever produced. We are a tiny little market that probally isn't even worth shipping products into, Hell, the entire population is less then many American Cities.... Besides, They ran out of supply before the launch date........ |

Consumers will be able to choose from the Xbox 360 System at RRP$719.95* and the Xbox 360 Core System at RRP$549.95*. web page here (www.xbox.com) I wonder what RRP means? Surely they wouldn't be misleading the public by putting down the wrong price? |
