Typically, when a new games console launches its price point is below the actual cost of manufacturing. But over time, through a combination of bulk component orders and the refining of the hardware design, the cost falls below the retail price. The PS3 was sold at a loss for nearly four years, the PS4 was profitable within six months of its launch, and the PS5 has taken eight months. Considering the novel new design and global chip shortages, that’s quite impressive.

Microsoft doesn’t share Xbox hardware sales figures and has recently stated no Xbox console has ever turned a profit for the company

It doesn’t really make sense to force out a new generation of consoles for sales either, considering they’re often sold at a loss. I guess for player retention?

Imagine telling that story to the other guys in Hell when everyone’s sharing how they ended up there.

Sounds like a name for a tropical bird

Diehard Democrat supporters should accuse Biden’s critics of being “gerontophobic” because mental and physical deterioration are a natural process that the president has no control over.

DPRK has some really nice music. I suspect we only have access to a fraction of it from youtube uploads. This chill instrumental based on “Bellows” (a song about killing landlords) also came up in my recommendations https://yewtu.be/watch?v=9ZWIWgqvKmw

Wouldn’t be surprising if they got hardware backdoors in a bunch of the common semiconductors. Who could find out if Intel Management Engine or AMD equivalent was doing something sus. If I were the CIA/NSA I’d definitely be thinking of ways to repeat and surpass the Crypto AG success story.

You made me realize I haven’t really interacted with anyone between 16-30 in a long time.

My nephew is into fortnite and roblox. In my day we played more competitively oriented games like quake or counter strike (I’m young enough that those were a thing) and I don’t get the appeal of the newer games.

Analyzing through the lens of dialectical materialism is called dialysis

The… Gulag Arcepelago? idk

Got a work meeting coming up that I’m really not looking forward to because the main reason for it is that the boss got big mad over a somewhat rude thing a coworker did, so now they’re gonna nitpick all our faults

I was gonna use a fork and a spoon to eat my spaghett, and after eating about half the meal I noticed I had been using two forks

It’s tradition for the Tokyo prefectural governor election to have some real characters

The mice are now uniting with the bugs in their struggle against the food hoarder

I heard that the terms of the embargo are also deliberately vague, so it’s hard to know for sure whether your cargo would be allowed or considered sanction breaking. What company would want to roll the dice with US authorities every delivery?
