First. Wasnt this posted like 2 months ago.. atleast.
Second. Advertisment, boxing etc is not calculated towards hardware profits. |
No. not advertising... but boxing? in no link (and ive followed these estimates since ps3 launch) have said cables, controllers, or boxing isnt included. The only people ive seen claim this are random forum goers. and it just so happens that controllers are included... that makes me question the cables and boxes... especially since isuppli was so close last time.
(they were only about 25 dollars off of sonys statement which came 5 months after their estimates.) |
Boxing is the same as advertisment. Controllers and cables, yes, they are apart of the hardware price of 299. But the process of boxing, shipping, advertisment etc are funded with money made, stored or borrowed. When calculating if X hardware is profitable you look at what it sells for and subtract the cost it took to make X hardware. 3 - 2 = 1.
