I'm talking about them trying to profit from winning the format wars. I don't know what the exact loss per console was; I did read what a few sites projected. Did Sony ever come out and say exactly what their loss was per console sold?

No, but Isuppli does it for them, and for virtually all major electronics.

And most companies, make things, and provide services to make a profit, if you're adverse to such things, why have you ever bought anything?  And if you're going to ding Sony for attempting to profit from the format wars, you should probably include, 20th Century Fox, Dell, Hewlett Packard, Hitachi, LG Electronics, Panasonic Corp, Mitsubishi Electric, Philips, Samsung Electronics, Sharp, TDK and Thomson, since they're all part of the Blu Ray founders group (there's actually more but I can't find the full list).  

I not bashing Sony for trying to profit. I am just presenting counter points to his arguments of Sony and MS. I've said plenty of times that these companies are here to make a profit. I'm not adverse to such things, don't take the discussion so personal.
