With all the free game bundles and temporary price drops I can't imagine how much money Microsoft is losing on the console right now.

Hmm, I doubt it's that much. I think both consoles have almost the same price in manufacturing, PS4 could be even higher. And I heard a while ago that Sony is starting to make money with PS4 hardware so MS could be on profit with the hardware, too.

you are wrong. last report from some website that i read on neogaf said the xbox was more expensive to make than ps4. and gdrr5 memory is dropping the price very fast. drr3 still expensive.

"You are wrong" without any prove? Nice... And what? GDDR5? How would you know? And MS and Sony don't walk into a shop and buy memory... There are contracts made with partners and they achieve prices customers can't even dream of.

I only could find this: http://venturebeat.com/2013/11/29/the-deanbeat-the-xbox-one-cost-471-to-make-the-ps4-costs-381-and-why-this-matters-in-the-long-run/

 

There you have Kinect-Xbox-One at $471

PS4 $381.

By them Kinect is woth $75 so we have $381 against $396. Given these are all only estimates we get a feeling both are very close to each other in cost.
