they are selling at around a 60 to 100 dollar loss still..

nope still a loss, just not as massive.
| rafichamp said: Sony is already making a profit on 160gb models, but do you remember when the 60gb got a smaller chip, from that they reduced the price from 499 to 399, so do you guys think that it will be atleast $60 cheaper to manufacture a ps3? (once the new chips arrive)
DISCUSSS |
the 60 gb was costing them around 600 bucks to produce, the small chip lowered it, but im not sure how much sry
$100 loss, I think thats too much, if they were losing money it would be around 10-14 dollars. At the beginning of the year i read stuff on joystiq and it said they were still losing a huge amount on a ps3. 100 dollar loss isn't that unbelievable. It Used to cost over 1000 dollars to produce 1 unit. A small chip could mean a price drop but if they drop it to 299 then they will still be losing a huge amount. Maybe like a 50 dollar drop would be fine.
