Another price-cut for Microsoft? How much money are they losing with Xbox One?

Anyone else find these threads funny?

It's like a homeless guy worried about Brad Pitt losing money on a restaurant venture. Brad and Angelina are going to OK, don't worry, lol.

MS makes *billions* in profit every year, and will make *billions* in profit next year no matter what the XBox division does. MS can afford to take a temporary loss on the XB1 if they want to. This is the same company that spent like $7 billion buying Skype. 

Sony is the one that hasn't made even a dime in the last 7 years and is bleeding money like it's going out of style overall. Worry about them.

Why so defensive? No one is accusing Microsoft of going bankrupt. This is strictly about Xbox One and how much of a loss Microsoft is willing to take in trying to play catch-up to the PS4.(emphasis on trying)

MS can take a very large loss if they really cared to. If they really wanted to they could take a giant dump on Sony and buy out several key third party games and win this generation. If they *really* wanted to. This cut is maybe giving them a $20-$30 loss per unit in the USA ... that's nothing but peanuts for MS. 

In fact I called this price cut way beforehand. They were always going to go for it simply because they can afford to.
