I used to work for certified reseller of every single major computer brand. I was a service tech. I got a discount for working there which was 5% above cost. On a brand new $1,000 computer my 5% above cost discount would knock the price down to around $910 just to give you an idea of what major retail chains make off of a single computer profit wise. Sony and Microsoft lost money on their consoles because they are too expensive to produce. They make up for it with software licenses, development kits, third party, and of course services. All technology companies work off this model. If you can reinvent the wheel and conquerer new grounds you my good man will be a major success. I'm not saying its impossible, it would just take some genius work.
