So with Microsoft seeing the light, any chance for $400?

Not without subsidizing the console's price. Perhaps the subsidy they used on the 360 didn't work, which is why they didn't employ it on the one. Sony tends to be the only company that would take a financial hit to make a console more affordable to their consumers.

We know they are not the only company that takes a financial hit on consoles. Why even make a statement like that?

Because Nintendo always profits Microsoft profited off of the 360 and the original Playstation, PS2 and PS3 were all sold at a loss. The PS3 was sold at a massive loss, with Sony bleeding through the teeth, but they deserved that. The Kinect is the reason the Xbone is $100 ontop of the other OS types. Microsoft needs to subsidize their gaming experience for their consumers if they want their sales to jump up at launch.
