This is one of those headlines that initially reads like a joke until you think of the economics of it. "cost is about 5-10% of the cost of an equivalent system built with off-the-shelf computer parts."

I wonder if this is due to the fact that the Playstation hardware is (was?) competitively priced to encourage revenue generation through games? Or was Sony simply very good at mass-producing these units?
