So is that why it took nearly 4 years for Sony to start making a profit on the PS3, and why they STILL haven't recouped the losses from earlier in the gen? |
because they tried to develop a main chip for it and ended up creating a development and production nightmare - that coupled with including blu-ray when the blue laser diodes still were hard to manufacture and expensive made the kit needlessly expensive at release, which in turn made the whole console undesireable
they could have made a $400 console from PC parts back then, which likely would even have performed better
