YourLinebacker Xbox One is going to be a flop. No one will buy it and Sony will triple their sales. I remember these days, but I bet that shut the Sony fangirls up real quick.
I guess you're wrong now, lol..

Nahh1492MedionMedionconmaster550 3 million consoles
That is 15,000,000,00
That is a lot of money..
You do realise that the system costs around $490 to make... and they are making money from games...
Plus it would be 1,500,000,000
It would be 1,500,000,000 what? That's a lot of money 0.o
That's so much money. I can't even think about how much that is.
It hurts my mind, what do they need that money for??
Most of their money comes from games and accessories nut the console itself. It takes almost as much money to make the One as it sells for.
It's about 20 dollars in their pocket every console.
