One more thing to credit to the PS3 is that it ended Sony as a semi-conductor fabricator. BTW they spent a few billion getting those fabs up to spec. |
sony still have fabrics, just huge amount they had in japan some years ago.
they optiarc for blu ray diodes, but they now get the components from other people, the cell from toshiba, and their panels from samsung(it's actually ajoint venture samsung have 51% sony 49%).
their phones are made by sony ericsson (that it's almost independent), and they still make batteries.
but it's cheaper to ask others to build it, apple works that well and they do well. apple doens't even have single fabric.
