It's not news that Sony loses money per console sold. There's a certain pricepoint that makes it not even worth selling for, because the revenue on the backend via software and licensing doesn't cover.  For example, if you had a product that cost yuo $100 to make, sold it for $75, but would get $5 for every unit sold, you'd be doing ok. But if you started selling it for $20, the profit and investment would be negligible.

I'd like to see where you pulled those numbers from, seems a large margin of error for such an extended period of time. Black Friday- Christmas, I could believe, prior, seems unlikely.


I would like a source for that claim - that they are losing money per console sold. Because last I checked, they were making a profit on each PS3 sold.
