That's what it costs Sony to have it made for them. This doesn't pay for a single SCE employee to exist, so consider they have thousands of employees in the Playstation division (for marketing, future R&D, testing, returns, firmware, etc) and add that to the cost.

The more Vitas they sell, the more  diluted those fixed costs are over each unit.  If they don't sell enough Vitas it should be obvious they'd make a loss even if each unit was very profitable.

WOW.... desperate

WOW.... vague

oh sure, but why stop there

from what I hear, they also have to pay to keep their lights on in all the various buildings that they own surely that factors into Vita cost as well, gas for all the company vehicles amirite yo amirite that factors into Vita also, frequent flyer miles for the VP of everything, that factors into Vita too, Kaz haircuts, oh and lets not forget their team of highly trained Recon Ninja's who sole purpose is to steal everything Nintendo does surly that goes into Vita as well, and other stuff I'm probably forgetting

so lets calculate

*pulls out calculator*

if we multiply bullshit, by you've got to be kidding me, added to you can't be serious divided by yeah he's serious, to power of WTF with a square root of FFS, you get a grand total of: That Desperate...

so uhhh unless my math is wrong, that desperate :/

 

edit: and I know you won't think it's funny...but I don't care, so sorry in advance

I do think your post is somewhat funny...but not very logical.

In any case, most people should realize that these estimates are innacurate at best. They don't thake quantity in to consideration. I am pretty sure most of the PSV's components are not off the shelf and are custom made for the console. So the more Sony makes of them the cheaper it is per unit in the long run.
