> So Meta is basically selling these headsets at the loss or near loss

Nope, they can't sale at loss, to my knowledge EU regulations forbids that, unless it is a seasonal sale. Then there is a question of what is near loss margin, because it feels to me like if you don't go 50-150% margin on your product nowadays you're considered a looser selling "near loss".

Aren't xbox and PlayStation sold at a loss?

Do you have sources for that regulation?

No details, I'm not a lawyer nor accountant. All I know is that there anti dumping laws and these are to prevent selling goods with loss as it can be a strategy to dominate market by killing domestic products with lower price. I also know that there are exceptions for seasonal sale. That is it.
