Well, hopefully this will stop from making the ridiculous that MS doesn't care about beating Sony, and are only worried about profit. I highly doubt MS has made much, if any, profit off of the One. Not with all the price cuts (temporary or permanent) and bundling 1 or 2 of their biggest games in for free. It's obvious that they don't want to lose to the PS4.

But let's not pretend Sony isn't doing any bundles with "free" games. Not official bundles but you can easily find them if you want to (meaning bundles with more than 1 game for a little above 400 euros or 1 game for 399...).

Did you....completely ignore literally every sentence prior to the last one? People around here have been claiming that outselling the PS4 doesn't matter to MS and that they'll be fine as long as they sell well enough to make money off the XBone. Hence defensive posts to the tune of "just because it's not outselling the PS4 doesn't mean it's not selling well. XBone is doing fine, PS4 is just doing better" that have been said time and time again.

Profit or marketshare. It looks like MS, right now (not saying it'll be that way in the future), is having to sacrifice one for the other. But don't reply with that kind of sarcasm just because a popular opinion (well, popular amongst the Xbox crowd) around here got called out. These aggressive pricing moves clearly show they care more about raw units sold than they do profits (right now), yet since PS4 has been outselling XBone 3:1, you'd be hard pressed to find an Xbox fan with a differing opinion than "they'll just focus on making a profit"....which is what thiemeintiel's post was concerning.
