Yeah right Epic. You take on no risk when it comes to proposing that consoles sell as loss leaders. Sony sold quite slowly while it was selling at a loss, but even now the console has been a money loser for Sony despite all the software royalties.
Having said that, if Epic thinks 360 was bleeding edge enough for this gen then clearly it's possible to create Epic's concept of bleeding edge for an acceptable price without going all crazy arsed PS3 with it's $200 loss per console at launch.
I do think PS4 will be $50-$100 more than Durango at launch, but it will be a break even price, not a loss. PS3 managed to pull itself out of the mire sufficiently for Sony to think that it can still be the most expensive kit on the block, just not quite as expensive, and not making such a huge loss out of the gate. Which means at least another 2 years of PS3 gaming for me after PS4 launches.
