It's in the interest of manufacturers do get consumers to perceive their hardware as great value but the factory door prices are much lower than people realise. A realistic factory door price for ps4 is probably around $80-120. Here in the uk the Raspberry Pi is sold at £4 for the small version which is a profitable price for all concerned. This pi is made here in the UK which is expensive to manufacture goods compared to China and yet is a full uncased computer even given away on a UK newstand magazine. It's like the Switch pro controller. Probably in the region of $3-7 to manufacture but going by many people on this forum they somehow think it would cost $40 to manufacture or more even. |
I struggle to believe this.
A PS4 surely cost a lot more than $80 to make. Nothing adds up.
