The reason why we still look forward to Nintendo, and PS3 stays costly above some versions of the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii is because of the components and technology used in the PS3, which makes it more expensive to build. It's hard for Sony to cut the price of its console when the system is already being sold at a major loss. When the PS3 first launched in 2006, iSuppli tore the system down and found that it cost Sony about $840 to build the version of the PS3 selling for $599 at the time, accounting for a loss of around $240 per PS3 sold.
Sony is probable to make the money up on the backend with game and accessory sales. The basic PS3 console, which sold for $499 in 2006, cost Sony only slightly less to build at $805 according to iSuppli. After two years of availability, iSuppli has again achieved a teardown of the PS3 and found that Sony is still losing money on the console.
