I think this because it was all over the tech news outlets at the time that the primary reason was due to Sony losing money because of console hardware being sold below the price of the components themselves.

A company press release is not necessarily the be-all end-all full story when it comes to justifying something extremely unpopular with their customer base.

Those stories were years old and it of date by this time.

  • And a press release that came out at the same time isn't?

    • No. 2006 (when you read about the ps3 selling for a loss) and 2010 (when the Hotz's exploit was published & other os support was removed in response and production costs had come down) are different times.
