Yeah, I haven't really seen this one much, but....well, 99% of things aren't sold at a loss. So it is definitely silly. That defeats the purpose of selling. Some companies will sell things at a loss to undercut competition, hock a new technology, or to quickly gain user base with the intent of making money in other areas. But companies that do this usually have a variety of other very profitable businesses to fall back on, especially if the thing being sold at a loss flops hard.

Nintendo, being primarily a game company with few other businesses, isn't one of those companies.

Do we even know if PS4 and Xbox One are being sold at a loss right now?
