use logic mayor... logic... the xbox has lost over $4 billion so far,

Backing up one usubstantiated claim with another isn't really backing
up at all.

i did back it up... you just lost another argument, that's all.

so it doesn't take an accounting wiz to understand they
haven't recouped that amount selling keyboards and mice...

Oxford will now back up his claims with something besides 'Because I
wish that's how it was'.

thus they
haven't made a penny on hardware. use logic mayor, logic!

LOL! The guy who insists that because they didn't make money on
onething (An unproven claim in its own right.) means that they didn't
make any money on anything, is demanding 'logic'.

no... that's where you got confused... i simply said they have never
made a "penny" with their hardware... and i was correct.

As I keep pointing out to ZnU, anyone can post or edit anything at
Wikiperia. It isn't an authoritative source for anything.

no, you don't understand how a Wiki works... it cannot be posted (or
more correctly) stay posted unless it is correct. go ahead and try and
refute the fact they have lost $4 billion on the xbox, and you'll have
100's of people all laugh at you... like everyone does here in CSMA. if
you look at the Wiki, it clearly links to this article in Forbes.

http://www.forbes.com/business/global/2005/1003/036A.html

so many people did the work, and "all agreed" that $4 billion was tied
to the xbox, so it's a fact... unless 100's of people can prove
otherwise.

please learn how Wikis work... otherwise you will continue to lose
arguments based on solid fact.
