Everyone loved than the PS4 was $400. Horray, it's cheap!
Yep and that's why it's outdated trash 2 years after release. If they had charged $500 or $550 (which is not that much money in 2013 dollars), we could have had a cut down 7950 in there instead of a 7850.
Everyone who bought a PS4 for $400 is responsible for the PS4K situation, because they showed Sony that profiting from an underpowered system is possible. So now we'll get console updates every 3 years forever.

So what makes it different from any other console?

Nah, the 360's GPU was still pretty decent in 2007. It was up against the 8800GT, which was always the recommended or minimum spec for PC ports.
The PS4's GPU is equivalent to the R7 360, which is pretty bad compared to stuff like the 390 and 980.

You could have done that instead.

When the 360 came out it actually edged out the best available PC hardware. It was damn cheap for what you got and they made money back in games. Both Sony and Microsoft lost a lot per sale, and that was at

Nah if anything people who insist on buying every iteration of fucking iPhones and Nintendo handhelds are to blame because it shows how large of a market there is to exploit retards with tons of money.
Is there no end to Sony fan's wallets?

I mean, dang. I know that's the not the same situation everyone went through, but where is the limit?
How far can a company milk a country before they take a stand and say enough?
Nintendo can't do this. Microsoft can't do this.
How is Sony able to?

You are imbeciles if you think comparing a series of handheld devices with only two base iterations per gen, amounts to the same thing as $400+ consoles with multiple iterations that trim or add features and segment their audience.
Sony fans =/= logic apparently.
Looks like I found the answer I was looking for. I just didn't know where to look until now.

The PS4 wasn't even a loss leader, though. They just put in shittier parts and sold mostly based on hype and microsoft shooting themselves in the foot with a submachine gun
They could've put in better parts at the same price and sold it at a slight loss, but customers are stupid enough that it doesn't really matter what they put in as long as microsoft fucks up as much as they did
