If these rumors are true than a Wii U will be somewhat more powerful than a PS3 and cost less to manufacture :D

Anyone have any links that show the manufacturing cost of a PS3 and 360 in 2012?

The PS3 and 360's costs may not be as high as you think. The Wii U is stronger, but the PS3 has a lot of smaller things that the Wii U won't have that likely drive up the costss (Blu-Ray/DVD on top of many other things). The 360 on the other hand, has Kinect, which will drive up the overall production cost. Also, Sony and MS are both making profits on their consoles, so there has to be a bit of markup involved as well.
