Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoConsole manufacturers haven’t sold at a loss in a long time.
They tend to at first launch. This article says it took 6 months for the PS4 and a bit longer for the PS5 to stop selling at a loss. It’s no longer the whole product lifecycle, but they are still sold at a loss at least at the start. I think that implies that hardware sales aren’t a major profit center.
