That would mean isupply overestimated not under like you are suggesting! lol.

Exactly, I'm saying that time they underestimated. Previous times they overestimated.
It's also funny that the article you posted defeats your other assertion in the thread that Isuppli uses "retail market" data.
They make their assumptions based on what they guess sony pays. (it says in the article.) Hence why they're always off.
Nobody knows except the console manufacturer itself actually, so I'd take those numbers cautiously...

The next PS3 SKU, which likely will start being produced later this year, should be profitable by a tiny margin at current price point. |
Is that a modification of the Slim on the inside, but the case from outside will look the same?

I don't know. I'm not an expert on hardware or manufacturing.
I'd say we could be near or at the point where the employees of Sony's gaming division could be a bigger burden than manufacturing costs. Around 5,000 employees at a cost of $100k a year each (not just including salaries, overall costs) means they have to make $500 million a year in revenue just to cover that part.

Keep in mind iSuppli is the same firm that wrote this gem. Their analysis on the Wii is only going to be 40-50 million give or take. Nobody is perfect right?
And BTW, the person who wrote this article is a key analyst for iSuppli to this day.
iSuppli: Wii To Lead Hardware Race In 2008, PS3 By 2011
The firm says the PlayStation 3 in 2011 will account for 35.4 percent of the installed base (38.4 million), while the Wii will take 34.8 percent (37.7 million) and the Xbox 360 will be at 29.8 percent (32.3 million).
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

Half a million, 50 million. It's all the same I guess.
