Microsoft Makes $28 Per Xbox One Sold As It Costs $471 To Build

We recently learned the PlayStation 4 only costs a total of $381 to build, which means its current selling price of $399 allows Sony to rake in just $18 per console that's sold. Now that the Xbox One is out in the wild, IHS has once again estimated what it costs to build Microsoft's next-generation console, and it looks like the company isn't making much money with the sale of each console either. IHS believes the combined parts and manufacturing of everything that comes within a retail box of the Xbox One, which includes the console, the Xbox One Kinect and the Xbox One controller, costs a total of $471.
