http://www.tgdaily.com/2006/11/16/ps3_teardown/Market research firm iSuppli has taken apart two of the first available PS3s and found that - not surprisingly - Sony may spend far more on manufacturing the game consoles than the retail price may suggest. The company is estimated to spend about $840 to build and manufacture the 60 GB model.
Microsoft was estimated to spend $552 on manufacturing its Xbox 360 last year ($323 this year), which translated into an initial premium of $152 or $38% over the $400 retail price. The PS3's premium is 58% higher for the 60 GB model and even 103% higher for the 20 GB version.
