eli5 why are consoles so cheap when PCs also do the same thing but for 3x the price?
In: Technology
The console is basically a way to get you to buy games/movies/media/subscriptions/etc. I believe Sony and Microsoft lose money on console sales (or break even).
Similar to how a water delivery service works. The base of the water cooler is cheap or free because the money is made on weekly deliveries of the 5 gallon water jugs.
