Either the PSV's tech is oder then we thought, or Sony is selling this at a huge loss.

Neither. A lot of people just overestimated the BOM on the devices without actually sourcing comparable parts. 

Not made out of melted down gold bricks. Entry model probably has a BOM of about $200 and I'm willing to wait for iSuppli to do their breakdown for confirmation. 


Agreed. I think people dont realize how much of a ripoff the 3ds actually is. Sony will probably bringing in maybe a $5-$10 profit on PSV while nintendo is clearly bringing in at least $70 on 3ds.

More like $140. Components and manufacturing of the 3DS are like $110. They could very well answer with a pricecut, but I guess they'll handle it the Nintendo way - doing nothing.
