Xbox 360 Real Cost 150 more than retail Can't Post

The cost of building the Xbox 360 video game console is nearly 40 percent higher than the retail price, technology and microchip research company iSuppli. The total cost to manufacture and test a premium Xbox 360, the software giant's sleek and powerful new gaming machine rounded out to $552.27, compared with its retail price of $399. (USD)

Microsoft aims to sell about 5.5 million premium and lower-priced basic Xbox 360 units by the end of June. Console makers have historically subsidised manufacturing costs by creating and selling their own video games and by collecting fees from publishers who make titles for their systems. Several new Xbox 360 games are priced as high as $60.
