What if PS4 was $299, but took a $200 loss?

Everyday Sony fans on the Internet confirm me that they want Sony to die. $200 loss on each console would mean hundreds of millions in losses.

Read that last line in the OP. 

He's got a point. People all over the internet believe that they can just say: Hey, lets price this thing like 500$ less than it costs us to make, because then it will sell well, and if a product sells well you must be making money from it!

Sure... but I'm not those people. This isn't actually what I'd go for, I'm just asking if it would be possible. If they could offset the losses.

Funny how people are getting annoyed at it.
