maybe that will cut theire profitl. but maybe it will benefit because of the much more sold units

 

frist year x360 lost was 1.9 billion in coparison

the difference is very big between the 360 and the XB1. 

first of all, we dont know just how much the XB1 lost. keep in mind the bulk of XBL subscribers are on teh 360, and the software on the 360 is still selling pretty well. 

second of all, didnt the 360 have a huge loss due to red ring of death? 

and third of all, the 360 was probably losing a lot more money on hardware than the XB1 due to it trying to penetrate the market and break sony's dominance, the XB1 isnt trying to do that (well, wasnt trying to do that)
