Edit: Funny thing is that with the 4850 its got 3x the graphical power of any console system and its only twice the price of the premium 360.

 

 

 

The price is all in the custom casing and the firmware.... cause it's more expensive to make 15M cases of the same kind than 100.000....

 

Well no ok, I have no idea either how gaming companies manage to loose money on hardware...development costs factored in??

Well they are selling their hardware really cheaply. Thats pretty much it really.... I can pick up a CPU and motherboard for $130 which is slower than whats in either a PS3/Xbox 360. Its only when you pay extra and grab a GPU which is wickedly powerful do you start seeing a good performance/price ratio.
