You have to have a sense of humor to detect such things and I don't so why would I? I take what's said at face value.
Idk I'd think people here could sense sarcasm in my posts.

You must be reading every post here like

A trillion dollar company can't eat the cost of 20 bucks an unit of a product that is barelay selling anything.

:stopitslime:
I think all of their business units are under pressure to create more revenue to fund AI. It's a huge money loser.

Microsoft is willing to eat the losses on giving people free chatgpt , because they can gouge customers in console sales , gamepass , or Microsoft 365 subscriptions.

Damn! They already wasn't selling too well. If I'm not mistaken they had gotten to a point that they were breaking even before the tariffs. I think they're throwing in the towel on the hardware side this generation and getting ready for the next. They gotta eat some of that cost if they want to increase market share. But I think their focus is getting Gamepass on TV, refrigerators, cars, etc at this point
It would actually be brilliant for them to sign a car deal for gamepass. Especially with the rise of self-driving taxis.

A 30min waymo from the airport is effectively a captive audience if you could throw in a screen and a controller to the back seat.

Yeah, it is an L to only think of shareholder value.

Do you have any more displays of feigning pragmatism?
What the hell is a business supposed to do other than make money? That's the only thing that matters.

Enlighten me on what matters beyond a business creating value for its owners. You one of them old it doesn't matter if you win or lose just as long as you play the game people. No the only thing that matters is victory.
