[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1000391, member: 29298"] And MS never got it. I think they are trying to reverse it a bit with Win 8 but then users will be restricted from what they are use to. Apple makes bank because they sell HW at a profit and they continuously release HW and people buy it over and over. For example MS wouldn't have to have a next generation Xbox 360, if they kept upgrading the 360 itself, keep updates 100% compatible, faster chips, more ram etc... There would be ton of gamers wanting the best each year, still a very controlled HW base (unlike a pc). That is how Apple completely schooled MS when everyone on the planet thought there was no way Apple could ever catch MS. MS sells the console at a razor thin margin (perhaps even at a slight loss at some points) gets a base and makes money on SW sales. Apple makes money on everything and has an army waiting for their next HW release on a few formats, the HW sales is what has catapulted them. [/QUOTE]
