How much does XB1X need to sell for it to be a success?

That's pure speculation, actually Phil has said that it is not being sold at a loss.

LOL...if you think I am speculating, look it up. Just type "Xbox One X sellig at a loss" in google.  Either that or its just not profitable in general. At mid gen this is a stupid plan. Early in the gen is fine, but at mid gen, no bueno.

I googled and again pure speculation. Sounds like it's right at the break even mark. like you said profitability equals success. So if Xbox one x doesn't make or loose a dollar just on hardware but causes more consoles to be sold over the next couple years and thus leading to more game, and subscription sales would that not equal a success. But seeing as we don't know the r and d costs it's impossible to know for sure how much more software/ service/ subscription sales it needs to bring to be "profitable".
