Each BD player is sold at a profit (or at the very least, break even) and the PS2 followed the same pattern for DVD in some territories, particularly Japan. The PS2 was the cheapest DVD player on the market at launch and actually what propelled the format in Japan and when DVD players became cheaper than the PS2 it certainly did that system no damage.
