No they shouldnt. But Sony arent being practical in all areas of their profit margins. Maybe they should have priced PS4 with The One. It seems like Sony wouldnt mind losing money to gain marketshare. Thing is they arent to great financially right now. They need to make a good profit.

 

 

Actually what he said makes perfect sense.  PS4 is being sold at a loss.  XBO is being sold for a profit.

 

Small loss or break even. Not at a profit. I'd imagine it's about the same sony, one sub and a game to make a profit.
