They'll be selling so many games this holiday that they may be able to mask most of the losses (plus jasper will be cheaper). They might make a loss but it probably wont be as much as people think it'll be.

That's Microsoft's way of playing off their loss, they aren't going to give you official numbers, and when someone hints at the 360 losing them money all the fans play it off too. It's almost undeniable that the 360 was not profitable (Hardware wise- due to production costs and unreliability), and now with worldwide price cuts you know they won't be making money off it.

We all know Microsoft has more money than they know what to do with, and from recent interviews with MS personnel we know their main goal is to do as much damage to Sony as they can, regardless of the cost. These price-cuts are evidence of that.

Why Microsoft? What has Sony ever done to anyone.....oh, excuse me Sega, didn't see you there. :) (j/k I'm a Sony and Sega fan btw)

WTF? Sega fan and a Sony fan?  How do you that?

CHOOSE ONE SIDE OR DIE !!!.

Ok look, the pwning of Sega is the one thing I have against Sony. Other than that, I'm a Sony fanboy. I feel so pressured to choose......I love both, but if I had to pick I pick Sony, Playstation = FTW.













but I still love Sega.........lol

I love how people make this stuff up they think price cut and MS is doing it to lose money they are doing it cause it makes buisness sense.  MS likes money. Article posted July 18th.  Link posted also.  I know there is more than the 360 in the divsion but it made money and keeps making money and even after the price cut it will make money (just not as much)

Microsoft Entertainment division posts profit

 Thread finished.  But of course we will still see irrelevant and unsupported claims from those who WISH the 360 division were taking a loss, but know they can't prove it, just like we can't prove the 360 is profitable either.

But we can prove the division the xbox is in is profitbale and MS is profitable so therefore we can surmise the doom and gloom of the price cuts is just people mad cause MS made a good buiness decsion and took the momentum back from Sony and may even cut into the WII

i didn't think they were losing money recently, but were just gaining from the huge loss they had.
I'm sure they are just cutting into profits a little instead of just losing ground. Unless they are just really confidant in the library.
