PS3, Xbox 360 to Cut Costs

February 2nd 2007 | Games Consoles

With Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3 (PS3) new-generation game consoles priced below their component costs, the game console vendors are aggressively preparing to migrate chief components to 65nm production in order to help shrink the gap between retail prices and costs.

Sony’s PlayStation 3 hasn’t even been on the North American market for three months, but the company is already considering a price cut on its new console. Sony trimmed the price of the most basic PS3 in Japan before it even launched and a price cut in North America could help to boost slow initial sales.
