The recent release of the PS3 Slim brought about joy for those who were waiting for a less expensive/smaller gaming system and indignation for those who were waiting for a Linux experimental machine of the same type as there was no "OtherOS" or Linux option on this model. Why? we cry sadly. Because, the deep, omniscient voices of two Sony representatives boom back.

Sorry but this makes no sense.
Say you build a system for $40 and sell it for $20, then expect it to give you $20 per year for 3 years until you reach +$40. Obviously a cluster sale will give you -$20 for that particular system which isn't very good. However, when the alternative is -$40 it doesn't sound like a bad deal. Assuming that you can sell all the systems at their current prices to gamers that will buy games from you instead of 2nd hand market is assuming a lot. IMO, their explanation(Build it for $20 and sell it for $19) is better.
