Sony is barely making a loss of the PS3 which they said will be easily made up by software sales.Eye and Move are supposed to cost $60-70 Also Sony is to bring 45nm RSX to the PS3,that is why there are shortages of PS3 as they are trying to bring the new PS3 models(the rumored 3.0kg models replacing 3.2KG ones) that can make profit and that would make significant price cuts like we saw with the 45nm CELL implementation in PS3 SLIM which reduced costs by around $100-150.
also Toshiba is said to be working on 32nm CELL.another price cut.This will give Sony the power to cut price of the PS3 significantly |
I'm sorry but you are greatly getting things incorrect. The Eye + Move Wand + Game bundle (without nunchuck) is supposed to cost "below $100" which in marketing means $99. The bundle they should want to include with the PS3 will be the complete Eye + Wand + Nuncuck + Game bundle so that at the very least would cost them $100 if not more (if the move bundle pack is actually $60-70 then the PS3 Move bundle with nunchuck added would be $100 added cost. If the move bundle pack is close to $100 like I estimate, then the bunle would add more than $100 cost to the PS3).
You also greatly overestimate the cost savings of die shrinks. While they do save costs, just one shrink does not mean $100-150 in savings. The Slim was able to reduce costs by the overall weight reduction. They shrank the cell, removed a lot of unneeded internal casing and cooling, changed materials, shrank the PSU, etc. All that combined for about $100 in savings.
Shrinking the RSX now and removing some small amount of weight will allow them to break even or make a minor profit. Do you really think they want to take another $60-100 loss per console sold?
