many consoles take a loss, and why they do that is because they know they can make the money back in accessories.
many people dont realize how much profit these companies actually make on their accessories. and considering that some people go through at least a couple controllers, not to mention batteries and memory cards, on top of the sale of games and other peripherals; i think they could care less.

on top of that i think many people are missing the point of the ps3. its not just a gaming console. Sony wants to push their Blu-ray disc, and if that means taking even more of a loss you think they're going to care if in the end it may make them billions upon billions more dollars. i think not.

all consoles will go down in price. i saw the xbox360 sell for 399 canadian a couple weeks ago.
and i dont even want to tell you how insane that is. these companies can afford to take a loss in console sales. if not then they wouldnt do it.
