I think there is a slight difference because initially the hardware is sold at a loss for consoles. Manufacturers should be able to recoup that. But broadly, yes.
- jaywalk 5y agoWhether or not the manufacturer sold it at a loss, I still own the device. Their accounting doesn't change that fact, and it can't be a consideration.
- LatteLazy 5y agoThat's a fair stance to take. I certainly think their lockdowns should be limited if not banned completely...
- criddell 5y agoI don't think any of the major consoles are sold at a loss when you look at the entire run of it. If they are sold at a loss, that could be seen as anti-competitive move that keeps competing consoles out and game prices high. Perhaps the competition chief should look into as well.
