€dit: i just looked, 320gb ps3 is 214 euro atm on german amazon. a 16gb model could maybe go for 99 euro then.


A 320GB HDD costs like 45€ (probably more like 30-40€ for Sony as only costumer prices really rose after the Thailand floods), while 16GB of NAND-flash plus NAND-controller cost 10-15€.

So Sony can save around 20-30€ by moving to flash and you expect the console to be more than 100€ cheaper?

LOL?


Your logic is totally off, people should be loling at you instead of the opposite. Obviously different SKUs are going to have different margins of profit, for instance a $300 320GB  SKU could be manufactured for $190 and a $180 16GB SKU could be manufactured for, say $150. Besides, just so you know HDDs of higher capacity are often cheaper to manufacture than lower capacity's ones due to the HDD's magnetic plates of higher density being easier to manufacture. The cheaper SKUs are sometimes, if not often, more expensive to manufacture.
