they make a profit after someone buys a game with the console, so the ps4 and it's games should help out their bottom line a bit.

along with a PS+ sub.

oh yeah, forgot about that lol

And an extra controller or three. They cost only 18$ to make, surprisingly.

I think they make a profit with one PS4 sold and a couple of games. That's not so bad at all!

PS4 + Plus subscription already give profit to Sony... and now the Plus is required for online play I think most PS4 sold give profit to Sony.

Estimated by a firm that did a breakdown of the components:

PS4: 381$
X1: 471$

Yes, even excluding the Kinect, X1 is more expensive to make with weaker hardware. Bravo Sony.

Wasnt that the breakdown that didnt include the controller?
