That's about the same as what most electronics retailers make with big ticket items I believe. It's also why a lot of companies like Best Buy sell warranty plans on those big ticket items.

I think they make plenty of profit on TVs... consoles are different because they make profit on accessories and software.

I'd bet TVs are sold at least at a 10% margin.

 

TVs are the exception.  A retailer can often make a lot on brandname TVs.

Slim profits on a PS3 Slim? Who woulda thunk?

That doesn't sound out of the norm... or am I mistaken?

Well their main revenue source is software, you wouldn't expect them to make much on HW as they want to get people in their stores to sell more SW and to increase the userbase

The go might be an exception
