LoL, what a shitty article

 

No, the Xbox One hardware is profitable at launch, the profit is a small one though.

Ah, whatever :D

I was wrong. Didn't read the article right, they make a couple dollars on each console.

That doesn't factor in marketing, distribution and warehousing costs. As well as the R&D costs. As always, the Xbox loses MS money and no one seems to notice.
