Will the last one to leave please turn the lights off...
SO MUCH spendings, so little market share in return. If only it ran at a
bigger scale, it would have lost as much as XBox360 (over $5 billion
overall, with another $200-300 million lost every quarter, which means that
it never became profitable, so "long term investment" excuses get
rubbished).
