MS is a high margin company, they are not going to keep throwing money at xbox with reckless abandon.

But we've seen MS throw tons of money at their phones, tablets, search engine, etc. Sony has also done it with their PCs, TVs, and lost many billions in the process.

The 360 lost billions and eventually became profitable. Sorry, but it looks like MS is invested in X1 for the long haul. The Xbox brand has a nice market share and is a vehicle for pushing other MS products, no point in quitting now.

What you said has ZERO to do with what I said...MS is not happy about losing money. Also it is totally different then surface, phones which was still new, they are noww making a profit on surface now, and there phones. They have never made a profit on xbox(Overall) and are a long ways from doing so. Sony jkust sold their PC;s and split off their TV division.....

 

They will not keep throwing money at a low margin business like consoles, when they make more in 1 month at there bread and butter business.
