Sony losing about $40 on each PS3

At least the loss is a managable loss now. That's only 1 game and they start making money again. I still think they'll drop the price this fall but it probably won't be $100 unless they manage to drastically reduce the cost of the hardware. As someone else pointed out, the 45nm Cell isn't going to cover THAT much.

It'll probably be at about break-even price soon though, so they'll enjoy a bit of extra money for the rest of the year.

 

Err... I don't think a single game sale nets Sony the missing $40. Perhaps if it's a Sony owned and published title, but Sony wouldn't make $40 off of a copy of Resident Evil sold... More likely they'd make something closer to $4...

Errr... good point . Kinda missing the obvious wasn't I? So, let's say... about 2-4 Sony published games minimum? Damn... that's still bad.
