The 80GB PS3 actually does only cost about $300 to make (remember it has 65nm everything, and Blu-Ray has dropped dramatically in price -- it was at $400 before the 65/65 switch and blu-ray drops), but the Nintendo cost-to-make number seems way too high.

 

:-O

 

Some article history for all those who haven't been keeping track:

(65nm GPU rumors, that now have been proven to be true -- I would dig articles confirming, but I'm tired of it)

...Sony isn't dumb, nor are they losing money on hardware any longer, I would wager.

 

 

ummm....so you believe a profit is being made on a single ps3 unit  ?
