This is exactly what MS need. They need to have a new board that fixes the RROD and reduced costs. Although I will be interested to see what kind of price cut they will give the 360.
If indeed it is true that they will be reducing production costs of the CPU, Motherboard and GPU by 50%, then surely this could effectively help them reduce the Core, Premium and Elite costs by at least 30%.
Personally, I reckon they should phase out the Core system and focus primarily on the Elite or the Elite and Premium as the 2 systems of choice.
I also wonder what systems they will produce with the new chipset? Will they bother with the Core? They could phase out the remaining Cores with a $199 pricetag and bring in the new Premium's and Elites at $299 and $379 respectively.
Prediction (June 12th 2017)
Permanent pricedrop for both PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro in October.
PS4 Slim $249 (October 2017)
PS4 Pro $349 (October 2017)
