I don't trust iSuppli. We have an insider source (aka drkohler lol) here on VGC that says the PS3 costs a lot less than $450 to manufacture - actually $100 less, which supports my price drop perdiction perfectly lol:

So you're basicly saying that a forum user on VGchartz is a better source than one of the biggest companies in the world when it comes to chain valuation and distribution calculation.

Sometimes i wonder if people know who iSuppli is............they're not just an analasies firm.......and not a newspaper.

Not saying they are 100% right but the numbers are propably not to far of, not 100 dollars any way.

I've read drkohlers statment which has no connection to reality. If Arcade was produced at 240 and other on 270 MS game division would show HUGE drops cause SW don't render that much. And do you honestly belive that PS3 is only 100 dollar more expensive to make then Arcade?

Hate to use the word, but his "facts" are just fanboy statement on the subject. I don't know the truth but if one company with only 1 console generates a good amount of money I know that they're not selling an Arcade for 199 dollars when the cost pf production is 240 (then you have to include "other expenses", taxes, VAT and sellers margins which brings it up to around 299) and if the other company has 3 console with 2 of them selling with a good margin, tons of SW sales and still the hole division is truggeling to make profit well that tells me that the third machine have a great cost just on selling.
