Sony's latest revision of PlayStation console is not sold at a loss, with the bill of materials (BOM) for the PlayStation 4 to be $372, according to an IHS teardown analysis.
When the manufacturing expense is added in, the cost increases to $381, the reseach firm found. This comes in $18 lower than the $399 retail price of the console.
When other expenses are tallied, Sony initially will still take a loss on each console sold. But the relatively low BOM of the PlayStation 4 will allow the company to break even or attain profitability in the future as the hardware costs undergo normal declines....

Didn't they sell them at first at a 200 dollar loss? I remember it being something ridiculous.

yeah, i remember reading back then probably on this forums that the ps3 probably cost $805 or more to make and i think they lost around $205 to $250ish on each unit sold. the $250 lost is from the $500 model that has the 20 GBytes HDD.
