Pretty much. But that won't quite give you a full powerhouse console. It would be toned down at that price. Unless they were taking a huge loss in Japan too. But as we've seen with the exchange rates, big losses in Japan would mean even bigger losses in the US and abroad.
The market simply isn't there for Sony to release another overly powerful system. The PS4 will still be strong, stronger than the Wii U but the economics simply won't allow it to be too much stronger.
