How can we see if the estimates are on or off track? Even if they have the PS3 hardware revenue as a standalone number (I have no idea, which is why I am saying like this), the fluctuations in currency and continues drop in price for the PS3 hardware, should make it impossible to make anything more than another qualified guess. Unless they state the current cost of the PS3..? |
Because PS3 hardware is probably the only big thing they're losing money on. If we see them losing hundreds of millions throughout the quarter, it's very likely they're still losing a lot of money on hardware (at least it would look like the only plausible explanation).
For example, losing $500 million at 4 milion PS3s shipped would mean at the very least they're losing $125 per unit according to these assumptions.
