Microsoft is debating whether the next Xbox has to be profitable on a per-unit basis from the day it's released, or whether the company can afford huge subsidies as it did with the first two consoles.
According to insiders quoted by game industry publication Kotaku, Microsoft's board of directors has taken up the argument as Microsoft begins to plan the next generation Xbox, which will probably come out in 2014 or 2015.
Selling game consoles for a profit from day one would be a huge strategic shift.
