I don't think the Xbox One is capable of bringing in MS a great deal of money and instead of trying to make good profit on hardware they've just decided to concentrate on install base and make money on subs and software.

It's just devaluing the console out of the gate though. That's what I find odd. Now their customers will expect freebies with all their NEW consoles and they'll be back to square one again early next year. I see this as making hay while the sun shines rather than a long term strategy. I can see Sony's hand poised oer the red button now and Kaz saying 'Hold it ... hold it ... wait til you see the whites of their eyes ... FIRE!'

You're right but if they didn't majorly undercut the PS4 they would get crushed. This must work for them one way or the other, it's just that the PS4 makes more.
