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".

It could just break even but thats probably going to be it. It isnt profiting and its not going to selling enough units to lower the cost of parts anytime soon.  At mid gen most people are looking at the S model if they want an XBox at all. As you said, its about the software and subscriptions, so if a good portion of the people who are getting the X already own an Xbox One or Xbox One S....how much software could that possibly push?
