@ChichiriMuyo:
The dollar has dropped significantly against the Yen and the Yuan. I'm pretty sure at least some of the expenses involved in making consoles are in at least one of those.
The Yuan used to be pegged to the dollar, but now it's pegged to a wider basket of currencies. The dollar dropped 15% against the Yuan since then if I remember correctly. Against the Yen, the dollar also dropped a lot.
Seems to me that looking at production costs in dollars might be a wrong approach; they may vary significantly with time.
