I might as well add a personal opinion: stating PS3 units are sold at a loss
can improve sales. It's a marketing trick that lures customers (the bargain
pitch).
I can recall the days when a CD-RW drive cost around GBP 300. It's a matter
of demand and mass production. Same with computer chips. R&D costs simply
decline or supersedes by the sheer numbers in repetition. It's like putting
a $2000 price label on the P3, but selling it for a merely 500.
Some clothing shops (to name just one example) capitalise on the
psychological impact of the strategy. People's perception of the cost of
what they wear is important (think labels/designers).
Best wishes,
Roy
