Amazon introduces a ton of new Alexa-enabled products, including a microwave and car gadget. Do you guys take a loss on each of these products? https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/20/amazon-announcing-alexa-enabled-hardware-products.html
Alexa, why do I need you in my microwave?
I don't think Amazon would take a loss if they started giving hard cash away. Investors just keep dumping funds into the organization. Bezos is a frickin jenius.
What do you mean by loss.
As in it costs more money to make them than the selling price.
It actually doesn't. Rnd cost of building Alexa tech stack is already sunk cost. What they now need to do is, spread that cost as much as possible. As long as the marginal cost is less than the variable cost of producing a unit, which is probably true in this case they are good. The more products they can spread the fixed cost to, the better.
No focus, just throwing a bunch of stuff to see what sticks..
Wow, this is so overboard. Alexa play Despacito.
