No way is the Xbox one not profitable at current pricing, probably hugely profitable. In the UK the price is £425 and for that money you can buy some serious PC hardware. The xbox one is just a small motherboard with a AMD APU, cheap memory and a few other bits. Compared to a PC its completely scaled back to just essential parts. At the beginning clearly they are interested in getting back R&D costs etc.

Xbox One definitely needs a price cut in Europe but I thought it was holding its own in the USA? Really though for the Xbox One to stay in the race in worldwide terms it needs to be no.1 in the states because it certainly won't do well in Japan.

Completely forget about Kinect did you?  It's that tech that makes the X1 so expensive..
