You really don't get it. How do you think these companies make money?

Software, peripherials and subscriptions right? Guess which one of the console makers usually have the highest attach ratio on their hardware?

To make any assumption on how much MS is losing, you have to know the manufacturing cost of those hardwares.

I get all that and I've never disagreed with it. We all know software, controllers, live etc. make a lot of money. But I specifically said "loss on X1 hardware" not the whole of Xbox. All I'm saying is that each X1 is losing much more than the $51 the article claims it does.
