Good question...
A 7770 GPU chip is around 125mm^2 (roughly same as the cell). OEMd in large quantities in 2013, I'd say $30 for Sony.
A10-5600 street price the boxed version just under $100. plain chip, OEMd in large quantities, I'd say $40-$50 for Sony
4G ram, 1G GDDR5 ram $40.
Blu-ray $20, harddisk $40, rest of stuff on board $40 (high, but needs more than two dual-phase voltage regulations as it is now).
board $10, power supply $30, case, assembly $10, things I forgot now $50 (like controllers, cables now that I reread it)
Grand total: around <=$300 manufacturing
so product price intially $450 possible.
XBoxNext: roughly the same (but they can spend money as they like)
