How about rational thinking? Do you really think that with shrunk chips, less parts, lowered shipping costs, cheaper chasis, cheaper buttons, cheaper blu-ray costs they barely saved anything?

In order for losses to not increase per PS3, and they sold more consoles, they would have to make a $100 saving per console by switching to the slim. That's crazy. Costs don't drop that easily.

...They dont? It went from almost 900 dollars to 400 dollars in 2 years... you dont think in another year a fifth of that can be achieved with a major revamp?
