even if this 70% number is to be believed nobody knows where it came from. All he said was PS3 manufacturing costs reduced by 70%, we don't know what that number entails. It could be that when PS3 launched there was some parts that were in very limited supply that were expensive. This is not something that isupply takes into consideration. We know Sony took forever to make enough units to ship for launch due to certain bottlenecks.
Not only that but exchange rates have changed significantly since then, if we are doing this comparison in yen then we are looking at more like 120 yen per dollar rather than the current 95 yen per dollar. $850 at that exchange rate is over $1000. This whole comparison is just a big shithole, nobody knows the details and by hiding behind percentages Sony can never be proven wrong.
