| Rainbird said: I don't see why everyone is saying the PS3 will be profitable when it costs Sony 400$ to build one. 400$ is the price retailers are selling it for, therefor it needs to go even lower than that. I don't know how much lower it needs to go, and maybe I am just blowing smoke here, but it seems weird that the "sweetspot" would be at 400$ to me. |
Actually it was $450. And after you factor in shipping, warehousing, warranty, online free, etc. plus the discount that retailers get, say $380, they are probably still taking a $90 loss as of right now. Sure they can probably drop that $90 throughout 09, but if anyone really thinks they will rush right in with another $100 cut and start this all over again is crazy.
