It is possible that "I lose money on every Playstation I make" could be in future tense. It would depend on the tone of the response. However, it is hard for me to convey a vocal tone via internet text to show what I mean, haha. Maybe the writer felt the tone of Stringer's response implied a future tense
To put what I mean into a question...
Question: "why not cut the PS3 price"
Answer: "I lose money on every Playstation I make"
...which could imply the result will cause a loss of money. However, without the actual audio of Stringer's response or the exact question that was asked, it is harder to know for sure. But the fact remains, the author wouldn't put "would" unless he felt it was warranted.
