It's certainly doable at that price. Sony just won't be making a modest profit, more like a massive loss on each system sold.

So basically: 6x the power of PS3 for 35k yen = losing money?

But as far as I understand it the WiiU is 3-4x the power of PS3 and making a profit at 26k yen...?

I doubt the Wii U is 3 or 4x more powerful than the PS3.  And yes, 6x the power of the PS3 would mean a black hole for Sony.  It's so ludicrous that they'll probably go that route.

Why, Kenology?....I don´t understand all the technical jargon, but considering the PS3 is a 6 year old system, wouldn´t it be kinda easy to make a console that´s at least 3x more powerful and at the same time making a small profit with a, let´s say, $350 price tag?

I think if it was more 3 or 4x more powerful than the PS3, we'd see the leap immediately and we don't.  I could be wrong though.  Would be nice if I am.  But I highly doubt I am.
