Yeah I was taking into account the loss per console. You also have to consider how much they can charge though. Consoles have a certain price range in people's minds. I think the next generation consoles will be more expensive, but not to the point where the consumer is paying standard prices per each piece of hardware in the system.
I also think Microsoft (and maybe Sony) will take a page from Apple's playbook and offer a monthly payment system. Something to offset the higher cost. If an Xbox Series X is $599 but you can order it today for $49.99 and then pay a set rate each month, then I think it's an easier pill to swallow for a lot of people.
