They already posted a 4 billion dollar loss on the first Xbox, if it happens again, that's just got to be it, And yes I know they have tons of cash, but they still can't just give stuff away because it won't stay that way. |
This. Microsoft's investors are already wanting to get rid of the Xbox brand as a whole even before Xbox One has launched, because they kept taking a lot of losses during the Original Xbox & with the Xbox 360. It's not exactly making Microsoft a big amount of money like with Windows, Office, & Servers.
Doing something of what the OP has suggested will just give them more fuel to force Microsoft to either spin off the Xbox brand or to shut it down & sell it off.
