I really don't understand what your statement had to do with anything he said. He never once mentioned MS's ability to make money. He simply said they were losing money which is bad. I don't care how successful a company is no one in the world is going to say it's a good thing to lose money.

No dispect to you either, but her clearly says bad for MSFT, how exactly does he know what is good or bad.  Did he do the cost-benefit analysis, did he make projections, I don't think so therefore, how does he know if it's is bad. My point is that you don't grow to be the 2nd largest company in the world making losing decisions.

So are you under the impression MS hasn't mad any losing decisions? Cause they've made plenty. Making losing decisions though wont necessarily drive a company into the ground and doesn't stop it from reaching #2 in the world. Cost benefit analysis and prjections are great but at the end of the day your trying to predict what consumers will do just like he is doing. If doing all those things lead to success the XB1 would not be in the position it is right now.
