Obviously it's not good for Sony, but I imagine PS4 is a relatively straight forward piece of kit, probably mostly off the shelf PC parts (a 28nm 7xxx GPU, maybe 2GB GDDR5 + 2GB DDR3, decent CPU) optimized for gaming. 

Yeah. Sony could just post the list of parts so everyone can just go buy them at the nearest computer retailer and build their own PS4. Save Sony all the trouble of actually doing any R&D and all that silly production stuff.


Those are the leaked specs for PS4 more or less. 

They might be, but have you ever seen inside a console? It is not like off the shelf components they put together (well maybe dev kits are) and volla here is a console.  PUttin git all together on an integrated board still costs R&D.
