-The XBOX 360's 2005 teardown revealed that the $400 unit cost approx $550 dollars to manufacture. (US currency of course)
-It's also well known that the 60GB PS3 cost approx $860 to manufacture back in 2006.
Google: "THE RAZOR BLADE BUSINESS MODEL" for further understanding.

Are you trying to say they were wrong to do so?
Home Consoles from here on out will me multimedia & multi-service devices.
Frankly, I don't see why that has to be "wrong".
Why can't we all have both, Imalwaysright?
The reason that the PS3 doesn't do PS2 B/C, is because back in 2006, in order to achieve it, you had to have actual PS2 hardware inside of the PS3...being the CPU, the GPU, or both.
The Cell Processor is not powerful enough to emulate most PS2 software by itself.
In Nintendo's case with the Wii U emulating the Wii.....that's not really the case....and to be fair to Nintendo....that's exactly what Nintendo is delivering.
Does it do porn?
:P
That's a good score.
I'll check the store for that Copernicus DLC.
I didn't know....thanks guys. :)
Didn't Sony just buy GAIKAI for almost 400 Million dollars?
That doesn't sound like "edge of bankruptcy" to me.
How do we not know that the PS4 won't contain some custom APU and also have the approx equivalent of a custom 7950?
You're sentiment seems like you're jumping the proverbial gun.
I'm with your sentiment, honestgamers....Mass Effect 3 was good....great even...
but it's no 10.
You've dropped the ball at the end.....ironically, kind of like the game itself.

How's that?
:D
I never really hear any real complaints about them.

Assuming that to be GAMEPLAY, that's what I expect NEXT GEN to be.
Anything else, and I'm not interested in upgrading.
From reports, a 3 TERAFLOP Gpu can accomplish this, And I fully expect a PS4 launched holiday 2014 will be able to manage this.
DAY Z'ish....good size maps, but much smaller scale.
You and your teammate, searching through ruble, building, trees, bushes...looking for supplies
7, 11, or 15 other teams trying to salvage the most stuff, avoiding monsters and a few animals and ultimately kill each other.
You die, and without a revive, there's no comeback...sorry.
Ok....not perfected yet....but that's my first vision, and it HAS to be co-op.
I mean...
This game was called sh177y shi7 a long time ago.
FF14 is over, pretty much.
And then if they try and charge 15 dollars a month...it's REALLY over.
If you must insist on punishing yourself, then by all means, go ahead and buy it....but I don't see why you would.
Good luck though.
*shrug*
2012 is virtually over and 2013 is almost here.
holiday 2014 is a possibility though.
on with physical media, and I don't think you can get all 3 to consolidate on that idea.
Also, what if a new company decides to jump in and have physical media?
Not only would retail respond positively to whatever said company keeps disks for them to sell, but consumers would respond positively as well. And if consumers want it, then they sell it. That's how business tends to work.
Or did you just make a mistake and just forget?
For PS4, I'm pushing for a holiday 2014 launch....that way we can get good tech instead of underpowered hardware that's in the Wii U.
That's no troll, I'm telling the truth in how I feel and why.
http://www.youtube.com/watc... <----- THIS IS WHAT NEXT GEN SHOULD LOOK LIKE. I want this type of look in my gameplay rendered at 1080p @ 60 frames.....that's what NEXT...
