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

it would destroy the competition

no it wouldnt, MS can lose much more then sony can

except they won't, microsoft won't go in the red for 3 generations in a row

So you say MS is not making profit with 360 this gen? Interesting... Any proof?

yes

Those numbers are old and MS division include much more than gaming consoles, like great successful products as Kin, Zune or Windows Phone :)

MS has black numbers this generation with the 360.

proof?

are you asking for a proof that we are not living in 2011?!

The EDD made 365 million USD in FY 2012

And 620 million USD in the first half of FY 2013

Kin, Zune, Nokia, Windows Phone 7 account for 1.5 - 2 billion USD loss in the past 5 years as well. So the Xbox 360 and even more so XBL are highly profitable businesses.

 

OT: Sony would go the way of the dodo.
