You can't compare Xbox's 1st gen losses to what Xbox One is doing.

It makes sense to take losses when you're starting a console in 2001 aquiring developers and making games with 3rd party devs. Even with all those losses the Xbox made a name for itself with marketshare and that is a success. The 360 launched and then made tons of money for Microsoft and still is making money for Microsoft.

I don't really know where you're getting this information from. My understanding is that Xbox 360 lost billions of dollars and then by the end made a little bit of money but overall lost money.  The division is currently making money but i believe this is mostly due to android revenue and surface pro profits.

The OG Xbox put the Xbox in the red and 360 has been selling on a profit for years.
