Then you see the XBox arcade at 199€ selling at profit.... that's a total of 380€ commercial value (so you have to deduct the profits made on the 3 objects) for an equivalent hardware.... So either the Cell is the actuall money eater at Sony, or they are just BSing everybody to look like the PS3 is a great deal.... Or maybe they mean "at loss" when they sale only in the US... |
Am pretty sure the PS3 is making good profit in "Others", and decent to alteast minor profit in Japan and US....
Just seems like they should be by now, the Production cost was 400 in JANUARY.
