S.T.A.G.E. said:
Sony said that they cater to the mass market. That is wholly delusional. They cater to a section of the gaming community and secondly launched a $600 console that took three years to be cut down to half price. Mass market demand forced them to do this....not their truest intentions. |
Btw carl, it wasn't $200 loss per console, infact it was above $300 and maybe getting close to $400
$800 spent on components (iSuppli estimates)
$50 given to retailer
$25? for shipping costs
$40? for assembley costs
There's a few other costs that I've forgotten atm
Then of course you can include a share of the advertising costs and the costs of fixing/replacing bricked consoles if you really want, the costs have to be put somewhere afterall
