I recall they lost a bit on selling the consoles to the USAF that were used as computer cluster. (The consoles afaik sell/sold? at below cost and rely on games to make up the extra cash) So they lose money on consoles that aren't having games bought.
- dfxm12 9mo agoThe consoles were reportedly selling at a profit (at least in the US) by 2009. Reports about the USAF condor cluster surfaced in 2010.
- lawlessone 9mo agoi'm sure they profited overall, but this was costing them a little right?
- monocasa 9mo agoJust about anything it cost them was more than offset by the marketing win of 'a console so powerful, the military uses it as a supercomputer'.
