| Yojimbo said: I was think that the ps3 cost so much more in Europe and the ps3 cost so much less in Japan. When they said that they were losing 840$/console it was in November and the console was not introduced in europe. JP=399$ US=599$ EU=850$ Damn I want that special formula that shows how much Sony loses per console. I will continue later with it need to check stuff. |
