Sony launched the PS3 at $600.
PS3 at the time took ~$800 to make.
Losing $200 per console is a pretty big risk... |
That wasn't a risk. That was arrogance in an attempt to corner the next gen DVD market.
There was no reason their console had to cost $800 anyway -- Microsoft made a better console for much less money.

Losing $200 per console isn't a risk? Okay...
And at the other part, depends on your opinion... This kinda sums up my opinion on it though.

Losing $200 per console was the price they were willing to pay to corner the next gen DVD market. I already said that. If there was any risk, it's not the good kind that evolves gaming so I'm not sure why the consumer would care unless they wanted an all in one device instead of a gaming console.

Red- Are you contradicting yourself there?
Green- That was taking a big risk. If PS3 had the success of PS2 or Wii, losing $200 per console when you sell so many units could have possibly crippled Sony.
