Well yeah. That's because Sony loss lead.
As anyone who's had a decent amount of buisness classes will tell you... loss leading basically always screws you on profits.
Loss leading is just a really poor philosphy unless you need a foot in the door. After the PS1... the PS2 probably shouldn't of loss lead. Then again if it didn't and the Dreamcast got a 2nd year alone on the market... maybe it's fate would of changed.
Probably not.... but maybe.
