Consoles have been profitable since PS 4 era.

hmm. I presumed they were still initially sold at a slight loss until economies of scale made them per-unit profitable in the middle of the sales curve.

If that isn't the case, then it makes Sweeny's statement above seem even stranger.


Ps4 was profitable within 6 months but Sony has been selling that for years so it's definitely not middle.

Ps4 pro was profitable from day one.
