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

8 mil units = 1.6 billion loss

Question is could they offset that.

Does anyone know what the average profit Sony make from game sales is? As in from a single game.

Given that the royalty-free PC version of a game usually costs between 5 or 10 € less than the console version, not enough to offset those losses. Of course, with 1st party titles it's different.

OT: If they do that they will prove that they have learned nothing from the PS3. They may sell a lot of consoles, but their financial situation will explode and give them a hell lot of problems.

But they aren't that stupid.
