Small losses = $50 or less per PS3 hardware system sold. PS3 sold around $300 on average now due to PS3 revisions. PS3 costs per unit rumoured to be around $340 to $350. So a $40 or $50 loss per PS3 sold. When all costs have been factored in. An article stated PS3 now costs only $252 per unit to manufacture but that does not take into account all the other costs involved such as storage, distribution, marketing, discounts, sales commissions etc. |
$50 is smaller, but that's not small..and as posted on VGC, that 70% wasn't necessarily off the previously believed $840 per unit cost.
@ Destroyer...
I thought the PS3 slim was the 45nm...thus the savings in power and cost...
