Those PS3's in their warehouses still cost 800$ to make, the savings Sony should have seen for the PS3 would have no effect until after all of the warehoused units are sold off and production is ramped up again. Right now production is at a bare minimum, meaning it could still cost 800$ for every PS3 that is still slowly trickling off the line due to contract deals with the assemblers, parts dealers etc. |
I am not trying to sound mean here, but that is $800 per console already spent. If they don't cut the price, the units don't get sold and Sony losses all that money permanently. If they sell it at a loss they at least recoup some of their losses.
