I know seriously, who is the genius who thought up that idea, "yeah lets lose billions on hardware, Durr hurr" |
The reason they sell their consoles at a loss is so that companies with less financial clout can't compete (in theory). A company like Sega could never sustain that model of business, which is why they had to leave hardware. It worked for the first two playstations, they easily made back their money with software sales. Even when Nintendo was selling their Gamecube at a profit, they still couldn't truly compete with that strategy.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
