| Th3Mist3rN3farious said: Are you seriously suggesting that upon release a PS3 cost $800 to manufacture yet they were retailing them at $600? I used to work at the head office of the largest electronics consumer retailer in the UK and I can tell you something, everything you see as 'a great sale price' etc still has a profit margin in there. Thats the nature of business. Not only would Sony be losing $200 per unit on the manufacturing costs, they'd also be losing cash on inventory and logistical overheads. |
And that's exactly what happened... They lost over 6 billion dollars because of selling PS3s for a loss for around 4 years, they've started earning money on each PS3 sold only recently thanks to taking features out and reducing production costs.
