Firm A entering and firm B not entering is the Nash equilibrium. Entering is firm A's dominant strategy. It will enter no matter what firm B does. Firm B does not have a dominant strategy but is always better off doing the opposite of firm A. Put in another way, given firm A's decision, if firm B enters, it will incur a loss.
