Also, how do you know how much of a loss, if any, the PS4 is taking?

You're kidding right? I really shouldn't have to answer this... It's more expensive then the X1 yet the PS4 will sell for $100 less. Sony also said they don't want to take a massive loss. The components are estimated to be around $400, not including shipping, advertising, manufacturing... It's obvious they're taking a decent hit from the PS4. A 2 minute Google search would have cleared all that up.

I found this 320gb SKU worth $288, that's $261 difference. The best choice is still the PS4 for most Sony gamers, not so much for Sony though. The PS3 is doing well now, what about after the PS4 is released? Most people have absolutely no idea they're coming yet until they're heavily advertized on TV. The gamers on the online forums are the minority, don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise.

PS4 + bill of materials shows $275 on google.

So, people are waiting for the PS4 to be released to stop buying the PS3? It's not like they can wait 5 months or anything, right?

Why didn't you link it?

I also said nothing like that. Read what I type, then respond.
