Zeus 04/10/17 4:19:49 AM #101:	The Wave Master posted... Microsoft is that stupid. It's just a rumor of the price right now, but do you think the bean counters over at Microsoft would design a console just to lose money? We are looking at a possible 200 to 300 dollar loss on each Scorpio sold if they retail it at 499.99 or even 599.99. It could be a ps3 situation, but I'm not sure that Microsoft is willing to sell Scorpio at a loss to obtain Market share. It's called a loss-leader. You lose money on the front-end hardware which you expect to more than recoup in software sales. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_leader And, given that Microsoft is currently down, they might as well experiment. The Wave Master posted... The alcoholic and moronic behavior can be tolerated if he still has millions in the bank, but who knows if he does? Either way he's probably going to die broke and alone, but man will he have a lot of great stories to tell. He's been married like five times. I can pretty much guarantee that he doesn't have millions in the bank. CyborgSage00x0 posted... The Wave Master posted... I have a lot of things to bring up, but I will start with the fact that the Xbone Scropio is probably going to retail for 699.99. I had to look up what that even was. So...is it a new Xbox console, or just a souped-up XBone? Either way, lol @699.99 dollars (really, with tax in most states, you might was well another ~$70.00 there) just for really good graphics, when they will have a new consoles in 4-6 years anyways. This might have the effect with the less expensive Wii, and push people to the Switch. Yeah, there's really no point in releasing it at all given that it would barely sell at that price point. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:876897674] in Spider-Gee...
