Calm and Quiet, Peaceful Console Debate Thread.

does anyone know how much a single ps3 cost to manufacture? i was just womdering becasue apparently costs are rising and i wasnt sure what they were to begin with.the 360 was like $500 i think cause i remember MS saying they had to sell 4 games per console or something to make their money back but the math didnt add up to me so i was just inquirin. what were their producton costs?

im nots saying it cant do more than an 1800 (around 1.2-1.4 ghz, 32 bit.), but it has only been pushed no farther than one could do. they use almost no general performance in the 360.


(god i am so wasted..2nd time getting well drunk..ugh. i made out with this cute goth/punk girl, so my night was eventful)

 

an estimation of ps3 production costs. It might help

I found another one

edit: no joking here

 

Whatever!!!!!
I dont know when this crap will stop between the three of you and i dont care.

Dude did you check out the links i posted

 

so sony will be losing around $400 per console? that is a ton of meony to make back in games and a tough task.And the link i posted says prodcution costs are even still rising to this day on the ps3...MS only lost around a hundered per console and they had to sell 4 games per console to make thier money back or thats what they said but the math isnt there so who knows.

already did now u had me read that twice LOL.why is it everytime i bring up something sony i hear I DONT CARE in one form or another?costs of production is up...i dont care,game prices up...i dont care,no dual hdmi and 2 less ports...i dont care.$600/500 per console..i dont care,releasing nov,17th HORAY.theres not much convo that goes on around the current info

 

LOL you made look bad. It's a reversal

you're not around when the current talk is going on.

 

thats true i guess.psssssss just because im not posting doesnt mean i dont read

missin a word in there or something

 

Well i was referring to the fact that in my response on the other thread i was saying i dont care which fitted into your post here

 

My names Chris and i LOVE bubble tape

 

Well that's nice Chris so do I

 

Better?

 

How about that?

 

Well thats nice I guess, but anyway, I just hope the PS3 doesnt have as many heat problems as the 360, I hope Sony takes time to create a good designe for the PS3 so that it isn't as loud or hot as the 360.

 

Well they've given themselves ample time to do all the designing and product testing that they need to do. Remember 360 had one of the shortest periods between concept and production than any other console. They were asking for trouble.
Sony gave allowed breathing room. Ps3 was supposed to be out this spring but what would it have been like if they rushed it out like that.
So i doubt ps3 will have half the problems of the 360

 

yeah thats true
microsoft could have done so much with the 360 if they didn't rush it, when i got mine at launch it was one of the disc crunching ones so i told microsft and they gave me my movey back through gamestop

 

I dont expect neither sony nor nintendo to have any such problems. They've taken their time in production and they'll reap the rewards of patience
