Xbox One costs Microsoft $471 to build, according to an upcoming report from IHS.

The largest part of the cost comes from the Kinect camera which is packaged with the system.

According to the report, which via AllThingsD was gievn an early look at, Kinect’s manufacturing cost is $75 and the console’s combination CPU-GPU from AMD runs $110.

Good. Glad to see that their is a reason for the Xbox One to be 500$. If they made it less than that, they would be losing money. Can't wait to get mine for christmas.
