X1 is still selling at a faster pace than X360 was. That's progress and I imagine profit. Why would they duck out of a growing market? Doesn't matter if they are number one if their Xbox division is profitable, which it is (correct me if I'm wrong).

I don't want them to leave the business and I doubt they will. The more competition the better.

Theyre not making profit not even close with the xbox one.

Surely the cost of manufacture cannot be too much higher than the selling price, no? I suppose there is marketing and distribution costs to take into consideration as well, but a higher number of consoles sold through means higher software sales and more income generated from Xbox Live. Even if they are not profiting now, the high rate of sale will generate a good future profit.
