I was just wandering that these are some massive price cuts across all the configuration... and if i remember correctly last quarter they took a loss when they only cut the price in Europe.. now they are again cutting price across all models and in all region, so don;t u think they r going to take a big hit.? or the RROD repair budget they set aside is no longer going to be available.?

Could be offset by lower Japser costs of production.

Their entire entertainments division had a loss.  That includes many products including the 360.  There is no way to discern how individual products performed.

The new motherboards are likely a lot cheaper to produce. I'm guessing they're breaking even or losing a small amount per machine. Only MS knows...

they were making money on consoles. and since they were able to reduce the cost of production, i dont think they will lose money now.

They took a lost last quarter because they bought out a company, do some research before trolling.

I don't expect it to be significant in the Microsoft scheme of things...

360 is selling better then last year, so it is probably irrelevant to Microsoft.

Link or it didnt happen

Actually purchases don't show up as losses on financial statements anyway. Its an aquisition of an asset, not a liability. So no link needed.

Btw - Its uncertain how much the Xbox 360 profited or lost as its stuck in the same division as a lot of loss making endeavors like the Microsoft surface computer initiative which I doubt has much to show for a lot of R+D for example. Nor do I think they are profitably selling/marketing Zunes either.
