Rumor is that the ps6's BoM (Bill of Manufacturing, the total cost of all parts, manufacturing, and labor, notably doesn't include R&D, marketing, sales assistance, distribution, shipping, etc, or you know, the big one, retail cut) is over $1,000. Several of its components are predicted to further increase in price by up to 2x in the next 18 months before the ps6's planned launch. To put into perspective how bad this is, a wholesale price (the price the store pays to sony's distributors for a ps6, for all intents and purposes, "sony's cut") of $1,000 would be ~$1,420 at retail. If every single component didn't go up in price by a single dollar in the next 18 months, they could sell it for $1,500 and it would still be a loss. Prepare for either them to sell it for $1,000 and still be taking MASSIVE losses, or for it to have a price that makes the steam machine look cheap.
