> at a loss with profits recouped on game sales

and perhaps the FTC should be smashing down that practice as anticompetitive?

I don’t see how it’s anticompetitive: any startup trying to get into the space is going to be making the case for product-market fit in terms of things like subscriptions and selling access to developers. I’d think a one-time per customer console sale at a loss would be one of the easier expenditures to justify to investors.
