Business also works where profit is more valuable than just revenue. |
So lets see.... if sony decides to "give away" the PS4 and say sell it at $150 ad take a loss of around $20 per console.... hell they even throw in spiderman which is a first party game for them and they own the IP at no extra cost and maybe pay insomniac $10 in royalties for every copy of the game they ship with the hardware. So that takes the loss up to $30 per console. And sell around 10M of that particular loss leading sku to a tune of $300M in losses.
How many of those 10M new PS4 owners do yopu think will buy at least 1 other game in say the next 3 months? Or an extra controller, or god forbid a PS+ subscription?
There are multiple ways to be profitable..... especially when it comes to consoles.
