@ jalsonmi: I'm pretty sure that if Sony takes a LOSS on it they're not going to want retailers jacking up the price that much. As I recall, I've heard consoles are generally sold at a very small profit to retailers ... but then I haven't worked at a game store.
I can say with utmost confidence that Gamestop does not make 25% profit ($100-125) on each PS3.
(A brief Internet search reveals the following: I am a salesmanager for one of the larger retailers out there and let me tell you, there isn't any markup in any of the game consoles, thats why retailers like to bundle their systems or try to push as many add-ons as possible. As for the profit margin per console its closer to the 4% to 6% area, this isn't an opinion this is a fact.)

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
