That makes my point above even more... now they don't have the $5 a month, and now the people really have no reason to buy another game. So they lost two times over... again, it was a really stupid move.
They kill it on the consoles, profit wise, they just sell more games and printed dvd, costs far less than a console, so the profits are massive.
You can call up manufacture in China, send your drafts and get cable, dvr, dvd, reader/writer boxes on a custom design, with a tv on it, to sell on the market for like $20 each, including shipping.
Those flat screens we pay $5k-$10k for, they cost like $200.
