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.

I read your list and I'm not sure an HD 7850 is possible given the 130 watt TDP. That's very high. The GPU's in the PS3 and X360 were between 60 and 80 watts. A game console chassis cannot disspate heat as well as a computer tower can.
You are also running into the currency problem we discussed above. You can't price a build in Pounds because it doesn't work that way. You have to price it in Yen first and then exchange it to the other currencies. And you can't simply convert your Pounds to Yen. You need to find out what those componenets cost in Yen first. I know that's a pain in the ass to do but if you go about it the other way around, you end up miscalculating what the actual build cost will be.
For example, your $310 build cost would be ¥24,369. That's far lower than the Wii U itself and more than the $39 retail margin you added. Which, by the way tends to be little to zero margin at all. It's why many retailers rfused to carry the PSP Go.

Keep in mind that the 7850`s TDP includes the VRAM, cooler etc wich is not included in the console GPU TDP.

While true, you still have VRAM and a coolling solution on the console so you still end up having to add that in overall.
