I think of few of you may want to research the published BOM's for each console. Consider that against the current exchange rate problems and then rethink your suppositions about how much each console really cost.

Are you suggesting that the X360 costs a fortune to manufacture today, and the PS3 is dirt cheap, thanks to exchange rates?

Would the exchange rates benefit Sony (as a Japanese company), but not be a detriment to Microsoft, given that most of the major components are manufactured by American companies... but overseas, which would raise their costs to both parties?

 

Did I suggest either way?  No, I did not.    I'm merely pointing out that one group in this discussion is incorrect.

 

Hmm.  Why so dodgey?  Why not enter the discussion, and share the knowledge?
