I will post what I have posted in a previous PS4 specs-thread (I've changed it slightly) but this time include my predicted price:

 

Hardware	Specifications
Central Processing Unit (CPU)	QC @ 3.4ghz (Not CELL)
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)	HD 7850 2gb vram
Memory	4GB min (inc 2gb vram)
Storage Capacity	320gb/500gb

 

This can run BF3 on Ultra at 1080p + 60fps, considering it's a closed system that'll be well optimized for.

CPU = £100

GPU = £80

RAM = £25

Storage = £25/£50

Other parts = £80

Total = £310/£335

Retail prices = 

320GB PS4 = either £299 and Sony take a small loss or £349 and Sony makes a good amount of each unit sold.

500GB PS4 = either £349 or £399, Sony make a profit either way, a large profit on the latter amount.

 

You are way overblowing CPU costs, with specs like these it should be 50-60 pounds max. Otherwise it seems on line with current rumors and a pretty good guess.

Anyways it is a pity Sony and IBM will abandon Cell, it had potential.
