It doesn't work like that in the eyes of the public.

I wish sony or MS have the balls to lose billions more, and make a 1000 dollar worth console, sell it for 599.

I want to see dual GTX580s. Someone call Asus and order them to mass manufacture MARS II cards pronto!!! :)

Don't forget to include a power generator with the console!

Small price to pay for so much power. Don't foget the lower heating bills in the winter...

How about this...Make the video card for the next gen consoles "upgradable"? Give everyone a console able to play all games butter smooth at 720p for $199. And then give the enthusiasts an option to upgrade the video card.

1080p gaming/3D - $150 more

3 monitor gaming - $300 more

Done!

While the idea of having upgradable consoles would be cool (it reminds me the 16 bits era with its expansion slots) that wouldn't work. Third parties would program their console games with 2 or 3 hardware configurations, just see what happens with PC games, only a few use the power of the new graphics cards.
