Some of you here can't seem to remember Sony has created succesfull formats before. There was this thing called a "CD" that turned out fairly well for them, any of you heard of it?
They say the RSX costs $70, right? Well the RSX is over 300 million transistors. The Cell is only 234 million transistors. Assume the price for the RSX is correct thats about 23-24 cents per million transistors. Also assume the cost per million transistors is about the same between RSX and Cell and you get a total cost for the Cell of $54.60. So I guess they are only $175 off!
