Nope, the PS3 was just an example of why you can’t sell at a loss with an open platform. Selling at a loss was the central point of the discussion, if that flew over your head it’s fine, but don’t try to make it my fault that you jumped in the middle of a discussion about why Valve can’t sell at a loss and said:
The Steam Machine is a standard x86 computer that can’t match the ubiquitous ThinkCentres in price/performance.
Which implies that even with the Steam Machines being sold at a loss a ThinkCenter would have a best price/performance which is just impossible.
This is going in circles and bringing nothing constructive.

Yes, you are definitely bringing nothing constructive with your goalpost moving.
