Is this game over for Sony?

areaarea said: I have lurked for awhile, but had to weigh in on this thread. I am a hardware engineer, and I have looked at all 3 of this gens layouts/PCBs. The X360 and the Wii were designed for manafacturability. Period. They will be able to reduce BOM costs and target new selling prices over time. The PS3 looks like an engineering sample (I think a testament to the problems they were having getting things pulled together on this platform). It uses extremely expensive parts that just don't scale as well pricewise with economies of scale production levels.

I am an electronics technician and I disagree with you. I own all 3 systems and thinks that this will have the same outcome as last generation unless some radical unique exclusives are announced. And what ever seems like a logical nightmare for an electronics company may not hold true to son,. because Sony is one of the largest electronics companies in the world. I am pretty sure they know thier limits better than you, me or any analyst can guess at. Remember the end game is to make as much money as possible and companies do not take risks that large unless they have given themselves a back door.
