Doug: You’re simply a case of mental dullness.

That is the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard. Never as in never a multi-national / multi-billion dollar company such as Microsoft would release a product when they know they would be losing at every item they would sell. Microsoft would know beforehand. What they are doing is jus a simple case of people putting into use the supply and demand laws. Go learn business behavior in terms of attempts to increase consumers’ utility (Economics) and maybe you will understand what people are trying to say here.

Microsoft isn’t loosing money on every consle. If they were to loose money, they would know well beforehand and up the price 200 more dollars to $600 a consle.

In the end, the monolithic corporation known as Microsoft will rake in its billions of dollars of profit from those who love to play, and can afford console style video game systems.

Meanwhile some underpaid people working in Chinas “factories” with hands much more nimble than mine are working their asses off in conditions that would probably make any Western European/North American cry like a spanked baby.

I wonder if any of you ever think about these kinds of things – perhaps it’s easiest just to ignore these thoughts – welcome to the good life, especially when it’s on the backs of those less fortunate than us.

I have had my system pre ordered for way too long. Every time i ask when is coming to stores they say in a day or 2 and thats been since it was released. The real thing is that they just like to get you thinking it will be in a day so to keep you from getting a PS3. Luckily im a loyal xbox fan or I would get one.

For those people who think Microsoft is trying to create demand and publicity for the system by sending limited #’s, you are way off base. Microsoft is in the end of the fiscal year, they lose about $130.00 on every unit they sell. If they were to have a huge # available to the US, they would lose that much more money. Yes, the shortage brings up demand but they aren’t interested in shipping huge #’s yet. When the new fiscal year comes about and in to next spring they might ( and should) profit, instead of losing $$ on the sales of the 360. It’s all about the Benjamins!
