But when he said that 10% number the 65nm chip set was already in the console for 1.5-2 years... something like that? And that would give it time to reduce the costs of manufacture. When I did my estimate I didn't take that into consideration. So the 45nm chip set would be more expenisve with it falling in costs in time. So, maybe we are closer to our estimates than we are thinking. Do you think the costs over time can be reduced to closer to my estimates? |
With time they can reduce it even more than that... but not as low as PS2's production cost, since the PS3 includes more things. For example the hard drive, which can't go below a certain cost no matter how few GBs it has.
