Sony Facing a $60 Loss per PS4 Sold at Launch

Though sale of the hardware itself will come at a $60 loss for Sony, the company is expecting to make up those loses through the sale of games and Playstation Plus subscriptions, since nobody buys just the console. The PS4 is also expected to become profitable much sooner than the PS3 did, since this system has fewer custom components and (fingers crossed) better games too.
