Production Cost Comparison Between PS3 & Xbox 360 Elite
According to an article over at Digitimes, we could possibly see a $100 price drop in the PS3 due to the increase in the supply of blue-laser pick-up heads and decrease in price.
Sony Shiroishi Semiconductor, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony, on April 23 announced an expansion of its monthly production capacity of blue-violet laser diodes, a key component of HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc (BD) PUHs, to 1.7 million diodes as well as the beginning of volume production of 240mW (milliwatts) blue-violet laser diodes in November of 2007. This will greatly increase the supply of blue-laser PUHs at lower prices, the sources indicated, noting the reduction of costs could reach US$100.
Digitimes also put a chart up showing the production costs between the PS3 and Xbox 360 Elite. As you can see, the PS3 production costs could really use some help with this recent bit of news.

How is the PS3 Harddrive (60 gig) more expensive then the 360 harddrive (120gig)?
Doesn’t make sense, these guys might want to go back to the drawing board and make up some new numbers….
