I dont know if you noticed but the previous CEO pretty much got fired (pressured into quitting). The new one doesnt exactly have an easy job. Microsoft is a company of big wins and profits and at the moment, they cant do that. They overextended themselves to markets where they dont have key strengths.
Indeed if Microsoft just cruises at this price point it wont lose huge ammounts of money, but it will also be stuck with a struggling product in the market that is eating up resources. They took huge losses at the start cause its what they deemed necessary to penetrate the market sucessfully, wich they manged to some degree with Sony's mistakes.
Today's situation is much different. Microsoft was in a position of strength and they blew it. To make it clear to you, its comparable to what Sony did last cycle with the PS3 at the start. From here on out there those two scenarions i mentioned. Either start over, big losses so you can make better profits later on (wich was what Sony did with the PS3) or small profits and drag on into a corner until next cycle like they did with the first Xbox (wich seems to be Nintendo's strategy, minus the mass inventory defecit).

Not even close. Sony lost mega bucks on PS3, and their userbase halved. The rest is speculative.
The new CEO is pro Xbox FYI.
You can try and convince yourself all you want, but if they havn't killed off Xbox yet, they're not going too in the next few years.

And why do you think Sony lost mega bucks? Isnt Xbox fanbase beeing reduced at this rate aswell?
CEO pro-xbox? Let me present to you Microsoft's new overseer for Devices and Studio Engineering, which encompasses all hardware, including Xbox: Stephen Elop.
Maybe you should read this: http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/09/03/microsoft-to-acquire-nokias-smartphone-division
Thats the same guy that said he would sell Xbox according to insiders: http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/08/rumor-elop-could-sell-off-xbox-and-kill-bing/
You can consider this a run to the chop. How can you be pro-xbox and not know these things? You have to admit, things dont look good.

Because they lost like $450 on every PS3 sold or something ridiculous?? That's why ...
Steven Elop will not get to make big decisions like killing off Xbox. I don't have to admit it at all, because right now it's all speculation.
