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?

I think you have the cost idea, but really have to think about what that means in terms of technology.

WiiU 32GB is 31,500Y

PS4 base at 35,000Y is pushing it to reach market prices outside of Japan. Removing the tablet controller and Sony has some play room in the console itself, but it still fits in with the idea of it having a HDD, bluray, newer GPU in a special APU design, etc.

In the end, there should be no reason anyone expects Sony and very likely MS to have a console that is significantly more advanced that Wii U. They will all be within a similar ball park... or at least close enough to not matter to 3rd parties.

Sold for 35k, costing 40k to make. Before I go on, do you know roughly how much nintendo lose/gain on the Wii U?
