Sony is either breaking even or making $100 from each PS3 sold, depending on model. Also factoring in that the PS3 price varies from country to country. Sony could be well on course too recoup alot of it's initial loses, through hardwre costs alone. I'd take a guess that Sony makes the PS3 for $400 now.They then sell PS3 at approx $360 too distributor, which then sells on for approx $380 too the retailer. Which would leave Sony with a small $40 loss per unit, and allowing distributor/retailer too make a small profit each. |
Please note that hardware component costs are not the only costs for the PS3 hardware. The loss includes all other expenses associated with PS3 hardware.
Please read more thoroughly so you can understand the original analysis.
