There are some people in the finance area of the games industry that say most consoles are actually sold at a profit or break even despite the common perception that they lose money on every system sold. For the PS4 and Xbox One, they definitely made money on every console sold. They actually had pretty old for 2013 technology in them.

Nintendo has almost always made a profit. The first time they ever sold a console at a loss was the 3DS when they had to drop the price by (I think) $100 a couple of months after launch because it wasn't selling.
