I don't know if it can really be called a victory. Profit margins must be razor thin. These prices are like practically giving them away.

BF deals are to be 0 margin or sold at loss to either renew inventory, attract customers or thank for the sales that year.

I disagree, they were banking on the og ps4 at $349, and at $249 they should still be banking on a slimmer much cheaper to make console.... Also at least half of them buyers are getting $49 subs to PS plus.. which is pure profit for then 

But Sony isn't getting retail prices for each PS4 sold. I wouldn't be shocked if they sold them to retailers at cost.

I wouldn't be surprised if they sold at loss because Sony said multiple times that on the HW their priority is volume not profit. And retail stores have very little if any margin on console HW.
