    Oh the xbox itself is doing fine, but Microsoft as a whole seems (to me) to not be doing so well. The pc market is going down because of Apple, their Surface tablet sold less than expected, they recently raised the price of Win8 from $50 to $130 because they weren't making enough money off of it and they announced that Office 2013 would have a yearly subscription plan. Not to mention that the latest xbox dashboard update turned it into ad-city and the fact that they require XBL Gold (a subscription service) even when accessing apps like Netflix(another subscription service). And the fact that Halo dropped to $40 in about a month implies that even that was/is underperforming compared to their sales estimates for the game.

    I don't know any "official" numbers, but it seems to me that Microsoft's only cash cow right now is the xbox.

    Sony as a company is doing much worse than Microsoft. Most branches of Sony have been running deficits for awhile now. Compared to them, Microsoft is still fine. If we're going to worry about any of them, Sony is in need of money moreso than Microsoft or Nintendo (which is also not doing too well, I believe).

    The worst part of having to pay that much for consoles is that they probably spend less than $50 making a console. Its ridiculous.

    There is no way that they will raise the game prices for that much. If anything it will go up $5 to $15 in the next year. There is just so much demand and its rising every day.
