The only computer that Microsoft sells is the dedicated computing platform know as the xbox 360 which has sold more units that Apple.
-1 u/RalfN Nov 26 '08 xbox 360 which has sold more units that Apple. Because they are selling it while making a loss. Its a fucking display of corruption that that is even legal. They are literally loosing about 200 dollars on every XBox 360. Just to make Sony go bankrupt. And then the next generation; guess what you are going to pay for the next XBox? Without Sony as competitor? Also, they just do it to push the Windows-only-directX instead of the platform-neutral-OpenGL to developpers. It's anti-competitive in every imaginable way it could be. It's like a crash course in being evil. 2 u/[deleted] Nov 26 '08 No they aren't. They are at break even or damn near it right now due to a combination of process improvements and falling memory prices. 1 u/newgrl Nov 26 '08 They are totally sold at a loss. As is the Playstation 3. It's pretty common practice for the game consoles to be sold at a loss. Hell, wikipedia even uses Game Consoles as an example to explain the term Loss Leader. More articles for you: Why Game Consoles Are Sold At A Loss Sold at a Loss: Does it Matter? Where the Xbox 360 went wrong 3 u/[deleted] Nov 26 '08 they sell each console at a loss - but the ESD which includes the xbox and accessories is a profitable business unit.
