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

Are sony capable of such a loss if the playstation sells well?

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.

Its not worth it. Even demand was massive, sony could only realistically  produce 12m ps4's for its first 12months. They could sell 10m year one simply by providing a great launch line up and features at $399.
