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.

 

i was watching EDD numbers and Microsoft lost about 9 billion since original Xbox was launched. I dont know if its Zune's fault but i know MS lost 4 billion on original Xbox and about 1.5 billion on 360 in the period 2005-2007 ( mostly because of RROD), so yea their profit they made on 360 is slight( but not really small) and its not enough to keep EDD alive
