PS3

Launched in 2006 with $500 and $600 price points due to being built around an expensive blu-ray player.  The PS2 was still selling extraordinarily well.  Sony could have saved themselves a ton of losses if they had waited until the technology became cheaper rather than burning through all of the PS2's profit by selling the PS3 at a substantial loss.
