That's not such a magic number in this case. In most cases, console manufacturers make a loss on the console, and profit on the titles. Nintendo makes money on the console too, so it's not such an important figure.
- kabdib 16y agoNintendo makes money on their hardware; the DS and the Wii were never sold under cost. Sony definitely loses money on every console. Don't know about MS.
- rbanffy 16y agoIIRC, the PS3 slim is profitable. The PS2 has also been profitable and has been a consistently good seller (with some decrease in late 2009 and early 2010 (but that's expected - the PS2 is old). Console death rate is also a problem: even if it's not replaced under warranty, it's still a loss for the 360.
