What ever the reasons these consoles sell for doesn't change the fact that they make and lose money. The console industry is a very in-consistence industry, one gen they can be on top of the world and the next gen they are on the bottom bleeding money. Its not a stable business practice. Something MS wants to move away from and implement a more stable system for their business practices.

Exactly, Phil is doing what Don is doing which is what MS wanted in the first place, neither are bad guys and the ideas work great on paper, Steam shows that this method works extremely well, its just very hard implementing these ideas into the console industry until now.

Nintendo have been pretty consistent though, and most 3rd parties as well. Sony have lost money only on PS3 and we don`t have any evidence that MS had any console that truly profited so not sure where you are getting this inconsistence out of.

Still we got several fans talking that Phil was against what MS did with X1 and that he didn`t had the power to fight it back.

Just saying Xbox 360 was profitable since 2008. Kinect gave a nice boost too. Don’t ask me how I know, I just remember.
