| letsdance said: Sony is now taking steps to bring down the production cost of the PS3 substantially, especially since Microsoft has been at a breakeven point for some time and the Wii has always been profitable. According to iSuppli, the first version of the PS3 carried an estimated bill of materials of $690.23 (according to a 2007 estimate, which was down from more than $900 estimate in 2006), while the newly revised PS3 is believed to cost Sony $448.73 in materials, manufacturing and box content. This number is still above the console’s $399 retail price, but the new design allows Sony to cut its losses dramatically. |
You do realize... that makes MY point for me about the two numbers not matching up.
Note all the things I-suppli leaves out, that the Sony CEO's wouldn't leave out. Such as advertising.
You think that's such an insubstantial thing.
Still they were a lot closer then they were in 07.
