» Report: PS3 Hardware Almost Break-Even
From edge-online.com: [QUOTE] When Sony's PS3 launched two years ago, even with its relatively high price tag, the company lost a significant amount of money on each console sold.
But a new BusinessWeek report featuring an iSuppli teardown of the PS3 finds that the total cost of components for the console is now $448.73 versus the $399 retail price tag.
Sony has reduced the total number of PS3 parts from 4,048 to 2,820, the report said. iSuppli estimated the cost of the PS3's Cell processor to be $46 currently, down from $89 at launch. The console's Nvidia GPU is now $58, down from $129 initially. [/QUOTE]
