There is no definitive answer. Everything has been based upon estimates, with a common one using the often quoted $840 initial production cost of the 60GB unit as the starting point for the "near 70%" reduction in per unit production cost quoted recently by SCE, which would put the production cost at about $252. Assuming it isn't, either that $840 initial estimate was too low, or the "near 70%" reduction could in fact be something closer to 65% or even 60% which would bring current production cost to $294-336. As one can see, it really doesn't take much to shift that current production cost number. |
I believe the 70% production cost reduction refers to the cost in Yen, in which case I calculated the production cost would be at least $311 now (which doesn't count the controllers, boxing, manuals, shipment and things like that).
