You think they're taking a $40 loss on a peripheral? The original Kinect was a standalone product but it was still sold at a large profit.

Not being bundled, the eye obviously isn't a selling point for the PS4. The only reason it exists is as an extra source of revenue, just as the original PSeyes and Kinect were. Your "guarantee" is completely blind speculation.


Never said they were taking a $40 dollar loss.  Your inference that I said that is just blind speculation.

Same rationale applies to consoles being $100 more expensive for just a larger hard drive, or phone being $100 more expensive with extra flash memory.  Those products don't justify the increase in cost either, but they are the reason for it.
