How much does Microsoft make
pkd_lives:
Those sad connection people are still around 90% of the internet users in the world. Most do not have the choice, exclusion of such people is not of any benefit to the internet community, and they often pay by the second or minute spent on-line, so waiting a minute or two for a picture to load is costing them money, whereas linking gives them the choice of what to spend their money on.

If they're that concerned then they could always turn images off. Problem solved. Heck. Why dontcha make a streamlined text only version of this site for those poor saps.

Nintendo was only losing $5 with there system but they just worked out a deal were they can start making GameCubes for only $99.
Last I heard (to anwer Ex Eleven / b0b 2.1 question), Microsoft report if they sale as many systems and software they want they will lose $700 million the first year, and $1 billion the next year. There goal for xbox was just to get in to the market. Xbox 2 and online gaming is were there money going to be. BTW Microsoft didn't sale the amount xboxs and software they wanted to, so they problemly are losing more but maybe not (depends on how many systems they sale).
TB:
M$ not selling the amount of Xbox's they wanted??? That's a bit of an understatement. In the 9 MONTHS that Xbox has been in Japan they still havent sold off their initial shipment of 500,000 units. I think their sales from february to october in japan totalled about 270,000 units. All you can do is laugh.
