No its not, you claimed they lost everything, they didn't. Don't talk about things you don't know. You can look up their FY2011 and soon FY2012.

You know that's just pushing things out of context. Point is they lost a gigantic amount of $$ on PS3 and they sure as hell can't take a 100+ loss at launch upfront.

Lemme go look up some FY2011, but they lost $$ during their Q1-Q3 2012.

Eh you claimed they lost all of their profits, which was wrong, I don't see how it is pushing things out of context. You were even sure of what you claimed until I showed otherwise.

$100 loss/unit is plausible, the deficit will be offset by software and psn sales but they'll still post a loss. You call people expecting PS4 to cost $400 delusional, you are assuming even the base model is +$500 to manufacture based on nothing.

$100 loss per console, for something that is selling even as bad as the WiiU would mean that Sony will be fronting more than $300m for the first year.

Even with software and psn they would be struggling to keep the balance sheet in the black. Given that there is a lot of pressure from investors for Sony to actually become profitable and not just barely break even, this is a seppuku level proposition, heads would simply fly.

Very very slim chance of this happening.
