| RabidBunny said: Just a quick question since I seen this mentioned by multiple people (but I don't know why): Why will we know the manufacturing costs when quarterlies are released? RabidBunny |
We won't know exact manufacturing costs but if SCE posts a $500m loss in the quarter (or more), you can easily deduce that they're nowhere near a breakeven point on hardware. Remember that the PS2 is definitely profiting for Sony and by all regards, so is the PSP. Add in PS3 software for the quarter and that's a lot of money that Sony is bringing in from those product lines.
If Sony is still bleeding that much money with several other parts of the division turning a profit, it has to be from PS3 hardware. There's nothing else there that could cause that kind of loss.
