No. But the PS3 came out almost 9 years ago, so surely the parts required to manufacture a PS3 would be much cheaper now then they used to be. |
The problem is: the prices of many components won't go down any further after a few years, some components get even more expensive when they leave mass production.
For example DDR2-RAM:
The PS3 will probably have a problem with rising Cell-CPU-prices due to production decreases of that chip. With a modular system like PCs you can replace such components with newer + faster components which profit from the mass production (buying a DDR3-board with DDR3-RAM instead of DDR2), but it's not so easy for home consoles... some components can't be replaced without losing compatibility.
