Topic	Microsoft Insider: Xbox has never been profitable

I anticipate they will copy Amazon's model, where you pay for Amazon Prime, get a bunch of shit for free (prime shipping, prime music, prime video, Kindle lender library) then you can at that point buy channels al-a-carte through Amazon Prime for $4.99/month, prime music unlimited, and kindle unlimited. Microsoft already has much of this in place. You've got the XBLGold, as well as Games With Gold. Then on top of that they also have Groove (Microsoft's Spotify), they offer video rentals straight from their console so presumably they'll ramp that up with channels as well, etc. That's just where I think XBox is headed since... well honestly everything seems to be headed in that direction except for Nintendo. In the future, I expect Sony will bundle actual Playstations into TVs kind of like All in one PCs: (the other side of this PC is a monitor) --- https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png <cite>ChromaticAngel posted [p:884976186] in Microsoft ...
