The original $805 figure was for iSupply's 2006 teardown and was just the console material costs, not actually a manufacturing estimate and didn't include anything regarding cords, controller, manuals, packaging, etc.  You can't apply that directly to Sony 70% reduction figure with some fuzzy math thrown in for extras and claim a $40-50 loss. 

The only credible source in here says a $100 loss per slim.  In fact, the 70% figure you're working from even pre-dates that source, it's less recent.

I dont remember seeing any credible sources saying $100 loss per slim.   The only true credible number in this entire thread is the 70% umber, and that because its directly from Sony
