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?

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.

 

That would be a powerful console. For 40kyen/$500 Sony could definitely get these specs or better considering the loss. Well, imo it's a powerful console, nothing beastly like PS360 but nothing to scoff at either, a significant jump over Wii U and big jump over this gen for a very reasonable price.
