PS3 Nonsense

Sony must hate itself.  It was just released that it costs Sony over $800 to build each PS3.  Here's the IGN link: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/746/746482p1.html

The launch allotment is looking to be more like 150k - 200k instead of the 400k which is down from the original world wide 2,000,000, but there may be as many as 750k systems shipped by the end of the year (yeah right).  IGN Link: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/746/746181p1.html

Further more, it has even more problems (then we thought).  Here's another IGN link: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/746/746492p2.html
Retail store units are over heating.  The system can't scale images (the 360 upscales your old games and can upscale 720p games to 1080i). Etc, etc, etc.

Finally, Merrill Lynch seems to think 360 is going to be the dominant next-gen system through 2011.  This seems possible with MS estimating a total of 10 million 360s sold by year end vs. Sony's lack of systems.  Final IGN Link: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/746/746196p1.html

As much as I want a high def video player, I hope Sony bites it on this one.
