Tear down's have to be some of the most stupid things on the internet when they try to price components. It's so unbelievably moronic. We have no idea what contracts have been struck with Microsoft and Sony with their suppliers of components and assembly (foxconn). We do not know their R&D or marketing costs. We do not have info on the tax they are paying etc. We don't know the margins they are allowing. We do not have their transportation and shipping costs etc.


As someone who works in the industry selling business to business, I have to agree with you to a certain extent.
