Thats a bold claim. Care to name what you are using in your gaming PC ? Two years old i would guess a HD6870 or equivalent, thats about half the performance of the PS4/XB1 GPU which is on the 7870/R9 270X/660Ti level. Add an 8 core CPU and 8GB of extremely fast DDR5 to the mix and i highly doubt Sony/MS are making any profit on the hardware right now.

Seriously did you miss that? http://www.forbes.com/sites/danielnyegriffiths/2013/11/19/report-sony-near-to-profit-on-ps4-hardware/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/danielnyegriffiths/2013/11/19/re... ANd that's just a third party evaluation, I have no doubt Sony gets way better hardware price deals when ordering millions of parts through their purchasing contracts, so of course they are making some kind of profit on each PS4 sold. They actually want to avoid what put them in the red with the PS3 sales.
- e12e 13y agoFrom the article: > IHS iSuppli, having totted up the parts costs, has come up with a total of $372, with an estimated $9 labor cost bringing it to $381 – $18 below the recommended retail price. So retail price is 399, out of which retailers make how much? 199 ? Tell me again how Sony is making a profit.
- kayoone 13y agoCorrect, but retailers make nowhere near 200 from a sale, still enough for Sony to not make a profit though.
