I believe the initial loss estimates on these were close to $500 per console. The introduction of the 40 gig and 80 gig really allowed Sony to pair the cost down. The fact that they were able to get a blended per system loss to ($210 per console) is fairly remarkable. I appreciate your research. I appreciate Sony for splitting the cost of my 60 gig PS3. |
I certainly appreciate it also because I would have bought the console as long as it was $1000 or less. I'm not rich, I just work and save money for whatever I want.
