Sony takes a step in the right direction to Kaz Hirai’s dreams and manages to slice down the production costs of the PS3. After getting hammered by both the Xbox and the Wii, the PS3 can now make substantial cuts to cost which bring it in line with other consoles. Consoles can now be produced for $400 apiece rather than $800 (which is how the cost rang in about 14 months ago), and this is accomplished by scaling back on components and options. Even now the PS3 rings in at a price comparable to the Xbox 360, and when you consider the options that come standard on the PS3 which are a substantial additional cost on the Xbox (such as wifi), one might even postulate that the PS3 is cheaper. Curiouser and curiouser.
