PS4 Won't Experience Losses like the PS3

The PS4 and contents of the box.

The CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment - Andrew House announced that PS4 will not generate large large losses like the PS3 did. In an investor's meeting, Andrew told the investors that the developing cost of the PS4 is less than the PS3 due to its PC like architecture. So, it won't create a loss like the PS3 did when it had been launched.
Sony lost more than $3.5 billion on 2007 and 2008 because of the initial cost of the PS3 when it had been launched in November 2006 for $599. After the company reduced the manufacturing cost by introducing the slim model, it lost about $40 per system.
