The PS3 cost about 700 bucks to make. As in the components and manufacturing cost about 700 US dollars. Jesus Christ...

A large percentage of a chips final production costs is averaged out because of the Millions/Billions in R&D. - And not just the chips R&D either, but fabrication R&D as well.
Essentially they need to recoup those R&D costs... And that is reflected in the final selling price.

I would like to see the full list of games. There are really only a handful of games from the PS1/N64 era that I remember fondly and have aged well. Generation 5 games in general do not age well.

One game that I would actually buy the console for: Final Fantasy Tactics but with the full PSP version included. I would rather have this on a mini console than fool with the PSP.

curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

That cable length on the controllers looks real short.

Its just a physical emulator with some roms. Probably 10 bucks to manufacture at the most.

You can't even build a scientific calculator with BASIC language support for 10 bucks. Even if the power is "cheap", there are still costs you can't cut off. And it's not some chinese bootleg console, people are expecting a good build quality, a glitchy (even mini) console would be terrible press for Sony.

There are also marketing, research, distribution and publishers' royalties costs and accessories to account for. Manufacturing cost isn't everything. It's extremely cheap.

I agree. The controllers probably cost more, people underestimate the work going into good controllers.

I wouldn't say these retor-consoles are cheap, but it's not $10 worth either. Main reason I get neither of these is, that I hate to have so much devices. I take the NES-games in the Nintendo-online subscription and hate the fact Switch no longer has Virtual Console.
