Ok, this is what I thought you meant first. I get it.

So let's say it's made for $500 and sold for $400. What would the price be for Japan, still keeping the loss at $100?

A $400 US cost would be ¥31,434.   Keep in mind that the 32 GB Wii U is priced at ¥31,500.  

It's really had to reverse the concept of cost since the price and costs originate in Yen so you really need to start there first.  That in mind, if the 32 GB Wii U is going to sell for ¥31,500, I can imagine to have a powerful PS3, it would likely cost more.  Even with a loss.  And then you do the conversion back to USD...or GBP, Euro, etc....

Point is you have to start wiht the Yen first to begin to understand what it will cost here, how much losses they can expect and how powerful they can design (given the costs).

So if the PS4 is made for 40k yen, that's just over $500 right? Wouldn't that still be a just over $100 loss if sold for $400 in merica? And that could be sold for 35k yen in Japan?
