Did you only read the headline?
The Xbox hardware ain't profitable, but royalties of each sold Xbox game and Xbox Live Gold subscriptions make it profitable.

And as much as all most of us want Microsoft to put more effort/money in their first party games... even without them Xbox One gamers have more than enough good games to play: http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/xboxone?sort=desc
30 million consoles (and growing) seem to be a "good enough" hardware base to get almost every third party developer and publisher to release their games on that platform... so the Xbox platform would probably survive even without further first party support.
With prices for an Xbox One S below €150 at sales and a huge game selection with Xbox Pass for a few bucks each month and many cheap Xbox games, an Xbox is a viable gaming option.
