Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., better known as Foxconn will join ASUSTeK in producing Playstation 3 units for Sony who has set a shipment goal of 10 million PS3 consoles for the first quarter of 2008.

Since Sony launched PS3 consoles in the fourth quarter of last year, ASUSTeK has been Sony's sole supplier of the products. Playstation 3's high price caused ASUSTeK's profits to fall to NT$136.7 billion for the second quarter from NT$222.5 billion posted in the first quarter.

Foxconn manufactures Xbox 360 components for Microsoft and Wii parts for Nintendo. Foxconn already are manufacturing Playstation 2 for Sony. Analysts believe that Sony has reached out for Foxconn in order to reduce Playstation 3 cost and - consequently - price.

Only normal that the price drops...history repeats. Look at the PSx and Ps2, they both went down in price and sold millions...Good for Sony!

I am also a PC tech, foxconn makes cheap second rate parts, not good for a $1000 home entertainment system.

i cannot think of anything sarcastic or witty to say except that the PS3 still sucks...until they lower the price to a reasonable figure and put out a better game line-up than what we've seen.

I made the mistake of buying a foxconn motherboard this year. After 6 months the pci-x (graphics card) slot died on it.At least I can easily RMA my mobo to newegg. It's going to stink being the owner of one of those PS3s.

That's why you loser should know that the best time to purchase a console is usually 2-3 months after its release...but you people call yourselves gamers??!! HAHA, I just call you plain cheap and stupid.

I'm also a pc tech and while Foxconn doesn't make the highest end parts, I haven't have any problems with their stuff. There are always folks who can't afford high end goods so Foxconn is their savior.

The facts of the matter is that foxcon is manufacturing the products NOT designing them.The flaw with the 360 is a DESIGN flaw and if you dont know the fvcking difference then your iq is probably at the low end of retarded.
