Every buyer will give them it back and more within 6 months of owning the system through game sales and subscriptions to PS+, netflix etc. $100 loss and they'd likely be fine too. Once you get to around $200 then it becomes dangerous, because they could run out of money before they start seeing a return, but like I've pointed out before a $400 console that breaks even could trounce the Wii U in technical capabilities. edit: in 2013, and easily in 2014. |
I don't really think so, unless the Wii U ends up selling for $249-300. Also, a $50 loss on each PS4 probably wont do much if it sells every PS4, but you failed to mention that if the PS4 doesn't sell very much, it's $50 per PS4 PLUS how much it cost to produce each PS4 that is being lost, on top of many other things.
