EMSNow, 17 November 2006
From delivery delays, to technology hurdles, to missed production targets, to cancelled pre-orders, to an apparently exorbitant price tag - we've all read the bad news regarding Sony Corp.'s much-anticipated new PlayStation 3 video-game console. Now for the good news: iSuppli Corp.'s dissection reveals the PlayStation 3 is an engineering masterpiece that sets a new high mark for computing price/performance - even when considering it is more expensive than its nearest rival, the Xbox 360 from Microsoft Corp.
Other component winners ?? Marvell Technology Group Ltd.'s 802.11 b/g module chipset, which provides wireless local area networking capabilities. With this design win, Marvell owns 2 percent of the PlayStation 3's costs.
