Hahaha, bragging about revenue on a loss-leading console? I guess they're assuming most people won't know what revenue is and will gobble this bullshit up.

1) is it still a loss-leading console?

2) Its across hardware, games and peripherals sales

3) The message is directed at developers and not us 

 

1) Not anymore, but it's been loss-leading for the majority of its existence so far.

2) True.

3) True.

The word "revenue" is an immediate red flag for me, because there's always a funny reason they chose it over "profit."
