I posted this in a thread regarding the cut of Sony's credit rating, and I thought it was relevant to this thread as well:
Regarding these last turn of events I'm gonna go a head and make a prediction.
PS4 will launch in October 2013.
It'll cost between 30.000-35.000 yen, which will be something like $/€349-$/€399. Sony will be making modest profit (at the very least) from the get go.
And it'll be about 5-6x as powerful as PS3 (<-- I have no idea if this is doable considering the price I just listed, it's just a hunch).
They might even launch a StreamStation for 15.000-20.000 yen ($/€199-$/€249) without any Blu-ray and disc reading capabilities; this'll be a Gaikai console of sorts.
That's my thoughts regarding their financial situation.
EDIT: I also think that WiiU will be 3-4x more powerful than PS360.

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
