I've been thinking about this. PS3 is a technological beast... Such a beast that Sony is not due to have profit with it untill it drops to about 200€ in maybe 2011.

Sorry but before we can discuss anything please at least get your facts correctly. PS3 cost of production was estimated to cost 450$ to produce in last year. Either it's already profitable or will be profitable soon.

Get you your facts correctly. Do you think Sony sell PS3 for 400$?
NO!
Retails does. The consoles goes on a course of shipment costs, distributors and so on untill it reaches retail at a 400$ pricetag for the consumer. Sony might sell them at 150$ in maximum.
By your logic Nintendo makes astronomic profit on the Wii eh? Well, they make about 7$ for each Wii sold.
STFU

Actually for what I know, retailers make an extremely small margin on consoles, and yes, Sony sells them at close to $400. Retailers mainly margin on accessories, secondarily from games.
And the Wii made $6 per console in dec 2007, and we know that it made a profit for Nintendo since launch. Meanwhile, we know that from launch the manufacturing cost of a Wii went down 45%. Do your own math.
As to the PS3, it's going to move to 45nm chips this summer, that's supposed to lower the costs by something like 85-150$ (i've read different numbers). Where are you pulling your dates and numbers from?
