@Viper1: I forgot about exchange rates when talking about Sony's ability to launch hardware at a loss. And that makes their situation even worse than I thought.
And maybe that's why the rumors about the PS4 talk about an AMD APU paired with a "low end" 6 or 7xxx card, to keep the costs lower than it would be with a customized CPU and GPU, while still being a good improvement over the PS3.
It looks like Microsoft is the only one that can go the powerhouse route again given their low sales in Japan (so a minimal lose) and that using the $1 = 1€ exchange will make them gain more money from Europe.
Please excuse my bad English.
