Well you know they had to do some things to make the
PlayStation 3 fit into a smaller space. One of the things is
updating the Cell processor. It's now buit on the 45-nanometer process rather than the 65-nanometer process of the original. Smaller chip equals less power and cheaper to produce.

So, smaller chips which are cheaper to produce help contribute to the smaller and cheaper console.
