The Xbox division does have the benefit of having an almost endless cashflow behind it, allowing the division to take (relatively) small hits while the overall company continues to rake in billions. Microsoft can continue to go in with a loss-leading mindset and not feel a larger effect from that, unlike Sony and Nintendo who at this point need their divisions to make profit from the start.

So with that said, Microsoft can take bigger risks than the other two when it comes to pushing their system in the marketplace. And we've seen that with the removal of Kinect and the major price cuts to make it a more attractive purchase. It will be interesting to see how aggressive the continue to push the console in the future.

As for the Wii U comment, it's par for the course with Pachter. Luckily for me the system continues to bring me awesome games. ^_^


I doubt if patcher even plays video games.
