@ NJ: what would your guess be? Even higher, or closer to the second link that mrstickball posted?

I think these estimates might well be correct at the pre-currency-crash levels, since Sony was expecting to break even on hardware towards the end of the fiscal year. Right now it depends a lot on the mix of currencies Sony uses to pay manufacturing/components, so it's really anyone's guess but it can only be higher than $448.

 

 

That's a pretty bold statement..I'd have to respectfully disagree.  But, as you said, it's anyones guess...that's your guess, and this is mine.  But I don't think it's at or over $448.
