Well, there's a 30% cut of the Marketplace sales but that's not going to amount to much as well.
However, they're building out a platform and asking for profits with the first quarter of sale is too much.
Microsoft always plays for the long haul, think about initial versions of Windows, XBox. On Xbox lost a ton of money initially but now is definitely profitable and making back the money spent.
Investing in Windows Phone is better for MS than just sitting on tens of billions of cash. It's good for us because it fosters competition even if you use other platforms. With your kind of thinking, no project would even get a start.
