Lol.. it doesn't take much to see that the X1 probably isn't profitable right now. How much money do you think MS are losing currently with the x1 promos just to try and catch up sale wise? the price cuts, the bundles, etc.. and now the sale through ratio... Just because MS as a whole is making money means jack to Xbox as a product. how do you make profit if you're spending more than you're making off a product? The game bundles, free games, giveaways, price cuts, kinect removal, etc.. that don't come cheap.. and it ultimately affects your bottom dollar especially if you have less product out there to help you recoup that money back... hence the urgency to try and sell as many units as they can with this fireslash going on.. is it great for the customer? you bet.. but at what cost to MS?
Man.. I hate it when your girl has to leave my place to come back to you..
