Furthermore, if this were a sane analogy, HP would be paying us for the printer hardware and we would be returning the “investment” via paper and ink cartridges/toner.

Well, they aren't paying us, but the printers are most likely sold at a loss. So that part holds.

The xbox was sold at a loss, that was an investment.

Convince me they sell those printers at a loss.
