Well, you got a point (and actually matches what I said too). At this point, bundling KZ COULD almost be considered advertising.  I still don't see it happening.

And you're right, the TitanFall bundle IS costing MS money, that's the point.  They are not in an ideal situation, so that means you have to take moves you normally wouldn't want to.

Titanfall bundle is not costing to MS more than they make with each XOne sold.

Microsoft already has spent a buckload of money with Titanfall, from the server infrastructure to the marketing, probably more than EA has spent, it won´t be U$10 for each of the bundle that would damage MS fiscal balance.

You forgot that MS paid for it to be exclusive to MS platforms. That must've cost them a lot, or else EA would be regretting their decision right now looking at the sales of PS4.

Also, you have no idea if MS actually make money with the One. 

Well the publicity alone is generating so much awareness that it will most definately make a profit and Titanfall 2 will be a even bigger hit when it comes to PS4. Its win win as of now, except for PS4. But they will get Titanfall 2 in like 2016. So no reall biggie.

We don't know if the X1 is profitable in itself, but based on the holiday quarterly results, it looks like the 360 (on 2008 prices no less) is padding any losses and keeping the Xbox brand in the black. Even whatever its selling now (and any Live revenue with MP and marketplace sales still coming in) will help X1 along until its more self sustainable.
