You are forgetting a few small details: When the PS4 (assuming with these low specs) comes out, there already is the WiiU which will have cornered the low end market with tablet, probably a WiiMote++ thingie, and their first party software which is unparalleled. Basically the Wii situation all over again. At the same time the new XBox arrives which will corner the hardcore market with Kinect2 (and considerably better specs assuming the rumours). So is Sony's plan? More glowing dildos? Free internet again (thus less revenue) to attract customers which otherwise have better options in the TWO other competitors?
(And a PS4 with a 32nm cell+ (2PPU,12SPU or 3PPU/8SPU), triple ram, and a modified 6850 would be about $50 more expensive to manufacture than the current PS3s - so there is no need to spend $1000)

yes Wii U will have the low-end market. Too bad Ps4 isn't low end.
PS4 is competing directly with the Xbox 720 which should both be high-end affordable consoles. There's even rumors the PS4 is supposed to launch BEFORE the Xbox 720 which should give it a HUGE advantage. If the PS3 which launched at $600 managed to go head-to-head with the XBox 360, what makes you think sony would have a disadvantage?
where did you hear the Xbox 720 would have considerable better specs? I heard the opposite.

That's what I was about to ask. The only 2 rumors I have read stated that the PS3 will either be getting a GPU that is a class above the NeXbox or a GPU that is the same one as the NeXbox is supposed to be getting, only redisigned/updated specifically for the PS4. The PS4 is also supposed to have an advantage because its CPU has its own integrated graphics chip that will work in tandem with the dedicated GPU.
I do hope the rumors are true that Sony plans to launch slightly ahead of the NeXbox. If not, I'm sure the PS4 will only be a few months behind. Nowhere near the year head start the 360 got.
