Message: [QUOTE="Dodgykebaab, post: 150099, member: 127883"] Fair call on the 3DO, but Microsoft comes in with around 20 million fans before they even show their hand. I don’t agree that the Saturn was a boutique console at all. It was a traditional console which followed the standard business model of selling at a loss at launch. But I see anyone else showing a way Xbox hardware can be profitable. Microsoft are simply no longer in a position to subsidise the console price with game sales; so I don’t see any other way the Xbox hardware can be a viable business if the machines are not sold at a profit. Then also they need a reason to exist. If Xbox is not an extremely high powered box, there is no reason to own one, because every other price and power bracket has a far more popular product Xbox can’t hope to beat. [/QUOTE]
