| BeElite said: PS 102.49 million Production ended 2006, 12 years after debut. You can bet your left nut PS3 will cross 100m Id love to see what it sales at 99.99 |
That is everyone's folly. It its 12th year it won't have reached 95m let alone 102.49.
PS3 is not PS2 or PS1.
It has a major component that will likely prevent it from being profitable enough at low production runs to be at a $99 price point. The CELL is not owned by Sony anymore and I don't think it can be futher reduced in die size. Thus no more capability exists to reduce its raw costs. Kinda a reason Sony moved to more general platforms for processing in its portable and home console lines.
