Studies of my income have revealed that I still cannot justify the purchase of a video game console at that price, ever.

iSuppli: The PS3 is Costly, but an 'Engineering Masterpiece'
A new price vs. performance analysis of the PlayStation 3 has revealed that Sony will lose more than $300 per console sold, but researchers were so impressed with its engineering that they view it as a bargain. Also, a comparative analysis of the Xbox 360 reveals that MS is starting to profit on hardware.

Studies of my income find that while I could easily afford the price, there are much better things for me to spend that kind of money on.Originally Posted by Mzo

Braaaaaaainssssss
So let me get this article straight here:
Sony's PS3 is an Engineering marvel and they're losing $300 per system.
MS's Zboz get's no engineering accolades, but MS makes a couple a' bucks profit for each Zboz they sell...
And both the Zboz and PS3 do the same damn thing.
Reporters R grate at Maths!
Three posts down, and this thread is already awesome.

They do!?
They don't.

According to the article MS makes 75 on premium consoles.

Hmmm, this would be news to me. I sort of doubt it at this point considering how much they were losing just a year ago, but then I'm no fancy-pants analyst.

If it's such a marvel of engineering, why does it break the first time you drop it? Why are a good percentage of the initial shipment total bricks?
Is this a joke? There should never be a first time. How reckless are people with their shit?
A guy I roomed with way back once whined that Apple needed to make their power connectors (pre-MagSafe) sturdier because he bent the connector after dropping it a number of times. He was really angry about it. My suggestion? STOP DROPPING YOUR FUCKING LAPTOP.
Not that I'm defending Sony's build quality if they're shipping bricks. But seriously... I own two of the big grey PS1 systems, a PSP, and a launch PS2. Nothing has ever gone wrong with any of them short of a single dead pixel on the PSP. The PS2 made me nervous for a while, but still no DREs. With questions like that one above, though, I kind of wonder if I'm just extraordinarily lucky, or if the average owner is routinely throwing their consoles around.
