Although financially Go can't flop because Sony makes so much money per system. (probably cheaper to manufacture than 3000). Even if they sell under million Go's this year they already make some nice profit (over 70$ per system?)

I thought the high overhead of profit was reserved for the retailers, though.  I think the only way this benefits Sony is by eliminating used sales and controlling price points for every Go game sold.

Retailers probably will get bigger profit from Go than from 3000 but I still think that Go has also more air in the price. 80$/€ is just so big difference.
