I read this comment on B3D and even though I disagree with it, I found it interesting for further discussion.

Don't forget that Sony is probably putting in their old PSX/PS2 chips into PS3. This means more $$$ to dish out. And if EE/VU was any indication... CELL will be very expensive. So once that's all said and done, Microsoft probably gearing to lose about as much at launch as they did with Xbox (this time without a hard drive)...
Remember, if PS3 is around as expensive as PS2 was, Sony might bankrupt themselves.
