The PS3 launched at a time, when Blu Ray players were sold for 1000$ without any gaming features. The blu-ray, plus some chips were very expensive. The Wii on the other hand, used familiar parts. The optical drive was the same as the Gamecube only full sized. Much of the console was Gamecube-ish. Certainly under 250$, but the article I found suggests 158$, which makes sense I think. http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/15/wii-manufacturing-costs-ring-up-to-just-158/ No idea on 360. |
And when the wii launched it was sold for $250 so if it was made with the price $158 i could see why Nintendo made so much.
