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 = £75

GPU = £80

RAM = £25

Storage = £25/£50

Other parts = £80

Total manufacturing cost = £285/310

Retail prices:

320GB PS4 =  £299 ($349) 

500GB PS4 =  £349 ($399 note that these are not direct conversions of currency, 'Merica gets things cheaper)

 

A moderately powerful console, definitely a big jump over this gen, sold for a profitable £299/£349. Perfect.

Edit: CPU price has been adjusted

 

I like these specs and price :)

And if those are true, I suspect they'll also be a core model at $299 with 10-16GBs of flash memory since a 8x-12x Blu-Ray drive would mean no more mandatory installs.
