Night surge - sony didnt shrink anything. isupply was just an estimate. and they were close... but still wrong.

But you don't know they didn't shrink anything, and you also don't know how far off iSuppli was.  What if iSuppli estimated lower than actual?  The actual figures didn't come out till 5 months later.  I doubt iSuppli would be off by $50+ overall so something likely was changed in the PS3.  It is also funny how we all use iSuppli's estimate of the $850 launch cost, but don't want to use their later estimate of $450?

I know because Sony announces when they make progress towards making the Ps3 profitable. And no, isupply wasn't off by 50 but rather only 20. And again... it was an estimate. a very accurate one. And the reason we don't use isupply's estimate of 440 is because more accurate numbers have been released.

Why do you keep saying 440.  iSuppli said $450!  And the newer "more accurate" numbers were not released until 5 months later.  Also, Sony does not always release information right away about every change.  You also have no proof that iSuppli was off by $20 back in December.
