wiimanfcost

We saw yesterday, the manufacturing costs of the PS3 and the Xbox 360, and its clear that both Sony and Microsoft are loosing on the actual hardware.

But, thats not the  case with Nintendo's next-gen console. A Japanese site broke down the Wii components by price and discovered that it apparently, only costs Nintendo about $158 to make a Wii. That’s not including the controllers though. Here’s the breakdown of the components:

  • Graphic tip/chip 29.60
  • CPU 13.00
  • DRAM 7.80
  • Optical disk drive 31.00
  • Power supply 11.30
  • Production cost 19.50
  • Cost total 158.30
