Sony: PS4 losses will be nothing like those of the PS3
Speaking in an investors meeting last week, and reported by Bloomberg, House told investors the pricing of PS4 will not cause as large of a loss as PS3 did at launch – the latter of which caused a $3 billion loss.
“We will not generate anything like the losses we did for the PlayStation 3,” House said, as investment in the system is “much, much smaller,” this time out, what with its PC-like architecture.
Still, Sony expects to report a loss in its game division next financial period due to currency exchange rate shifts.
Such looses will be offset in part by sales of PS4, but the firm no longer expects to break-even for the year, but expects earnings to “deteriorate significantly.”

This confuses me, does this mean that it cost more to make the PS4 and market it and ship it then they are actually selling it for, because that is what this article makes it sound like but I know they won't sell a product without making some profit at all.

SuckMortar Despite the loss they are certain to make, they will probably make up for it in later sales of accessories and alternative console versions.
Of course they will, they make billions on they console/ games.
They won't make that much for sure.
