Sony losing about $40 on each PS3

Ouch, I figured Sony was making a profit on each unit by now.

Anyone know if the 360 takes a hit on each console? I assume the Arcade takes a hit but how about the Premium?

 

Well, they probably make a profit on the 160gb units.  Consumers pay $100 extra on what amounts to a negligible cost difference.  The game they toss in probably costs uner $4 to make, and the HDD is at most $10 more. They're probably making close to $30 per 160gb unit sold.

Of course, there's no reason to buy the 160gb unit unless you were planning to buy Uncharted for full price anyway, and decided to go for the larger HDD as well.  We haven't sold a 160gb unit at my store since the holidays.
