Now, with isupply being so close this time... why would they be so far off from the beginning. 850. Also Sony PR said mulitple times they are selling at big losses and probablly should be selling it at above 900 dollars... seems to fit in line

If you want to get technical, they could save a decent amount of money even just for the stripped down appearance of the slim. That could save them a few bucks on just that alone. Not sure about any technical changes but I'd imagine that there were more cost effective ways to do some things for the PS3. |
If slim is already being produced but not sold yet to get rid of old supplies it sounds probable.
It also makes sense from Moores law point of view

If true then it's good Sony is able to profit from the PS3 now. And if a Slim is coming then it would also explain why its gaming division took such a hit. Hopefully Sony will be able to turn things around this time next year and be able to make some more moola. Young Money ENT!.....Sorry back on point.
So $240 for a PS3 and if retailers only receive 10% the total cost for a PS3 on shelves would be $226? if my math is right that would mean Sony is making about 174 bucks a console? if this report is correct. Good for them

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.
Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
If this is true, why does their financial report indicates that almost the opposite is happening?
Good new for Sony. Who knows, maybe in 5 yrs they can make back a huge majority of their losses.
I understand they achieved roughly 70% cost reduction in 2 years ?
Seems a lot...
Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

I guess it's possible, since Blu-ray and cell were in their infancy around launch.
Possible, but not probable.

Game development, Marketing and probably R&D costs for a Slimline PS3,PSPGo and probably next gen systems IE PS4 and PSP Go

If that's true then the console war is far from over. But I thought about 2 months ago some other sony guy said they're losing $40 per console. So who knows really
