why would microsoft cut the price when they finaly started making slight profit on xbox brand for the first time in 8 years?

Slight? they have been making a profit for sometime now, its probably more than slight.

late 2007 they started making a profit, so your 8 year figure is wrong.

Im sorry Seece, its worse than that even! It appears that Xbox 360 profitability has been carrying an otherwise unprofitable division! If you read between the lines, you see some pretty heavy profits for the Xbox 360 and some pretty heavy losses for some other pet projects.
