Maybe this is how the consoles die. Do they really make that much on hardware?
I’m guessing they make their money on taking a percentage from each game sold on their hardware.
I wonder if we will see the end of PlayStation at some point as people transition to things like the steamdeck.
It has all the benefits of pcgaming and can really just be interacted with like a console.
afaik they basically make nothing on the hardware. wasnt the ps3 even sold at a loss?
I think consoles selling at a loss was pretty common. I’m not sure when they switched. Maybe the ps4 era? But who knows.
