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.

I would hope everyone knows the BOM on the 3DS is just over $100. It's not exactly confidential information anymore than the BOM of virtually any consumer electronic device these days.
Nintendo is making a fair bit more than $70 per unit currently. SCE will be lucky to break even after factoring in all costs associated from BOM to packaging, shipping and retail cut. What they won't be doing however is taking a $200-300 bath on each unit like some have been stating and will continue to claim until iSuppli estimates end the debate.

when do you reckon those estimates will be in by? I'm clueless about the subject :D
|
Just check with iSuppi; they'll have a breakdown of costs as soon as they have a unit in hand for analysis, whenever that may happen.
