PS3 outsells the Wii

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/PS3 outsells the Wii

Yeah, Xbox360 has been making a profit for the past 6 months too, problem being that their new warrany scheme kind of stuck a big hole in things. But they made 200 million out of the Xbox360 last quarter or something.

Sony is taking a considerable loss on each PlayStation 3 sold. Materials and manufacturing costs for the 20Gbyte model exceed the suggested retail price of $499 by a total of $306.85, iSuppli’s Teardown Analysis service estimates. For the 60Gbyte version, costs exceed the $599 price by $241.35.

In contrast, the HDD-equipped Xbox 360 has a manufacturing and materials total of $323.30, based on an updated estimate using costs in the fourth quarter of 2006. This total is $75.70 less than the $399 suggested retail price of the Xbox 360.


that was a year ago.
