They didn't profit from day one.

PS4 sold at about 50USD loss per HW, which break even with 1 year of PS+ and one game sold.

Guess I'm remembering it wrong. I am getting old, you know!

*Edit* I'm Probably remembering some other article like this one: https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/155521-playtation-4-sony-announces-the-ps4-wont-be-sold-at-loss

I googled it and most said what you said, though.

I guess you just mixed the timeline. 1 year after release it was between breaking even on HW and making small profit =]
