Not ownage at all. Even if it costs 250 to make it still would not be profitable for Sony. Also what he isnt showing you is what thread it is. I believe it is in "How can Sony drop the price" thread.. which... if Sony is selling at 400 dollars then, yes, the Ps3 is now profitabl, and yes, they can drop it. OWNED YOUR FACE! |
There's your contradiction. Sony was selling at $400 dollars when you said that. It still is isn't it?
As always, it pays to look closely at PR statements. This case is no exception... the first time I read his statement, I missed the "gross profit" part. Well spotted TheBigFatJ!
So what he's telling us, is that if Sony didn't have to pay its employees their salaries, AND if they could evade taxes and other overhead such as interest payments and shipments, Sony's gaming business would be profitable.
Fair enough, but that does mean they still have a long way to go to profitability, since SCE employs around 5,000 people if I recall correctly.

You were caught talking out of both sides of your mouth - and we are the ones own3d? Do you need meds? I know a good doctor for you. Oh - you don't like socialized healthcare, do you?
Your posts crack me up - otherwise, you'd be ignored.

You guys are fucking obnoxious. How is "Ps3 is profitable allows them to cut the price" Me saying "Ps3 is making a profit now"
Seriously guys, grow up. You are fucking obnoxious.
Sony better not be doing this as a "Hail Mary" pass (American football term) in hopes that it will suddenly turn the tide.

There is no definitive answer. Everything has been based upon estimates, with a common one using the often quoted $840 initial production cost of the 60GB unit as the starting point for the "near 70%" reduction in per unit production cost quoted recently by SCE, which would put the production cost at about $252.
Assuming it isn't, either that $840 initial estimate was too low, or the "near 70%" reduction could in fact be something closer to 65% or even 60% which would bring current production cost to $294-336.
As one can see, it really doesn't take much to shift that current production cost number.
