Even if Sony was making a 50% profit on all their products, you just increased their production costs by $150-200 which is basically half the cost of the console already. My numbers were just estimations obviously, but that seems like the exact opposite of what Sony would want to do as they're trying to cut costs. |
The Prices you used are retail prices. As far as the 100 to 200 off a Home theater or TV you do understand that is an incentive for them to buy another product and the margin on those products is much greater than 10%, right? HDMI cables are the biggest scam in the electronics world. They are dirt cheap to produce and people get robbed blind on them.
So you really think the list above worth 300-400 dollars? Then my job is done.
