Does anyone realize that Sony, a very big corporation that wants to make money, probably pays a lot of people, a lot of money, to calculate this sort of stuff for them, and that is why the price is what it is right now?

Nice analysis.

Now if Sony could just sell 1 console at $1b, then that would be the price point to use for maximum revenue. Just kidding.

 Damn, I should be on the pay roll, then.

Yeah, but Sony isn't talking, so it's great to have someone here take a stab at figuring it out for us.

 I just hope I was in the general area, at least.

I can't poke any holes in your analysis, although I'm definitely not an expert in this area.  I think a lot of us really appreciate the time you put into this.  It's nice to read a thread that doesn't focus on tearing down a platform, and that potentially provides a little insight into how things work.

 It didn't take me that long, it took me about 40 minutes. Which, when the main reason was to delay doing my maths homework, really wasn't enough.

I was planning to do the same for the 360 and Wii, but I noticed that the 360 had had too many price cuts, and model changes, and the Wii had had too few for me to work it out properly.
