They planned on losing money, but lost significantly more than anticipated. PS3 had a 50% price cut in about 3 years to catch up with the 360. PS4 has only gone down $50 in two years ($100 only for holiday boost). At some point PS3's stopped selling at a loss. But they didn't recover all the losses. Which is why Sony said they couldn't afford another PS3. |
Once again that is somewhat misleading. Sony did not drop the price just to catch up & pass 360 which they did end up doing, they dropped the price because they knew as the years ticked by the hardware used to build the PS3 dropped like a rock as all tech does. That allowed them to drop the price & they anticipated this.
