Perhaps because one company makes billions in profit every quarter where as the other is selling assets and cost cutting to try and scrape profitability. Microsoft will always have the ability to loss lead on hardware by a huge margin if they ever wanted to. |
MS will always have the ability to losslead, but compared to Sony losses to make their platforms succeed there is a clear distinction. The PS4 will make small profit in the beginning and it will grow over time. They will be able to cut price fairly soon. I could understand if this was the PS3 and you were saying this and they were bleeding as badly as they were but they've slowed that bleeding and returned the PS3 to profitability. At least give them that. Pachter has already stated that the PS4 will start off at a small profit, so they are already well ahead of the PS3 in that respect.
