I was just wandering that these are some massive price cuts across all the configuration... and if i remember correctly last quarter they took a loss when they only cut the price in Europe.. now they are again cutting price across all models and in all region, so don;t u think they r going to take a big hit.? or the RROD repair budget they set aside is no longer going to be available.?

 

Their entire entertainments division had a loss.  That includes many products including the 360.  There is no way to discern how individual products performed.

That's Microsoft's way of playing off their loss, they aren't going to give you official numbers, and when someone hints at the 360 losing them money all the fans play it off too. It's almost undeniable that the 360 was not profitable (Hardware wise- due to production costs and unreliability), and now with worldwide price cuts you know they won't be making money off it.

We all know Microsoft has more money than they know what to do with, and from recent interviews with MS personnel we know their main goal is to do as much damage to Sony as they can, regardless of the cost. These price-cuts are evidence of that.
