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.

how much more powerful do you reckon wiiu will be then? and how much more powerful do you think ps4 will be?

Probably 1.5 to 2x more powerful. 

And like I've been saying since the last month and a half, I don't think the PS3 (or the 720) will be a monumental leap.  I expect next gen to be like the sixth gen in terms of hardware parity - PS2 (Wii U), Gamecube (PS3 or 720), and XBox (PS3 or 720).
