What Your Gadget Really Costs

Market researcher iSuppli digs into your Xbox, iPod, and more to find out how much they cost the makers to make. You may have paid less for it. The cost to make an iPod, Xbox, and other electronics has big bottom-line implications at Apple, Microsoft, and their peers. Some companies are willing to swallow losses on some gadgets-for instance, gaming consoles-in hopes that they'll make up the difference, and then some, on sales of related gear, such as video game software. Other companies, including Apple, are able to sell many products for a healthy profit from the get-go.
