Wait didn't Dkholer went to MS forum with "insider" information that PS3 only cost $350.00 to build.

And Groucho call us bunch of ignorances when we ask him to provide something to back up his claim.

So after 2 years Sony still lost $50.00 per console... it make sense why they would put out the 160GB sku because with that Sku at least they are breaking even or even make some money.

 

I was about to bump that thread with this...

For those casting shadow upon iSupply (DMJ, I'm looking at you!) - predicting sales trends is one thing, tearing down a piece of electronics and asking manufacturers for volume pricing on components are two different things.
