Sony consoles follow the Gillette razor and blades business model at launch. The console eventually becomes profitable on HW too, but later. Relying more on 3rd parties, it tries to offer more computing power to please them. Ninty OTOH relies far more heavily on its 1st party exclusives and taylors its consoles design and power just on its own needs, this allows it to sell HW at a profit since launch.
