Spot the errors!

Found this article in the newsqueue: http://www.isuppli.com/news/default.asp?id=6919

Although it's actually a serious research it seems, they're either ridiculously stupid and uneducated there, or paid by Sony: just about every line contains a proven factual inaccuracy :)

I loved this one the most: "Sony’s Blu-Ray DVD read only optical device in the PlayStation 3 has dual purposes: up-converting the game console’s output to high-definition resolution, and allowing viewers to watch high-definition movies using the console, according to Krishna Chander, senior analyst, storage devices, for iSuppli."

Someone please tell me what a storage device has to do with the graphical subsystem's output resolution? And what happened to the main purpose of the Blu-ray drive that a senior analyst, storage devices would probably care for most: STORAGE?

Anyway, enjoy the article, it's good humor.

Quote from Article:
"In contrast, the HDD-equipped Xbox 360 has a manufacturing and materials total of $323.30, based on an updated estimate using costs in the fourth quarter of 2006. This total is $75.70 less than the $399 suggested retail price of the Xbox 360."

So if I understand them well, Microsoft would be winning $75 per Xbox
So with 6 millions console, it would make a profit of $450 millions while Sony plan to earn a profit of $674 million this year. This is not a console war then but a slaughter.
