AMD de-thrones nVidia with DX12!

[BoFox]

Because M$ has said so in the past.  XBOX has been a very expensive project for m$

Original XBOX cost way too much in BoM compared to what they sold it for.  360 RRoD destroyed all profits there.  XBONE barely sells.

14,000,000 units as Rollo stated, is a quite healthy figure given that it's been around for less than 2 years.  M$ clearly learned from Xbox360, and chose to go with a dirt cheap GPU this time, and a dirt-dirt-dirt cheap CPU.  And the rest is pretty cheap as well.  Getting rid of Kinect made it all that cheaper with respect to the BoM.  So, M$ is for sure selling these units at a profit - completely unlike when both Sony and M$ were selling the last-gen consoles at a loss for a couple years until the shrinks finally broke them even. 

Not that I'm really for Xbone (I just wanted there to be more great Kinect games than just Dance Central) - I'm actually against all consoles that outputs anything less than 1080p in the middle of the 2010 decade, 10 years after 1080p really took off.
