Nonsense. particularly with the recent price cuts and software freebies, they lose roughly $80 per console. The first batches of consoles are always loss leaders, until the (re-)supply chain is "running on autopilot" and generic cost saving measures have been implemented.
Also the X360 Fifa14 bundle is currently selling for around $220 here (includes taxes and store margin, and a $50 XBox store credit), so they are actually losing money on the X360 hardware, too. Might be a country specific thing, though.
