Losing $150+ per unit after the unit is actually sold is a big risk imo. It just happend to pay out for them more in the Ps2 era then it did in the Ps3 era.

Disney doesn't make a lot of money off tickets to their Broadway musicals. A lot of times, they lose money. But it's about market real estate then anything else.
Disney isn't just donating money. They're gambling it and hoping they turn a profit. Just because its a calculated risk doesn't mean its not a risk.
