Relative to the 3DS is it expensive, but the 3DS is a very cheap piece of technology. Now, I'm guessing you're thinking at this point that it should always be discussed/assessed etc. in relation to the 3DS because that's it's only direct competitor. And you would sort of be right when strictly comparing the two, but you weren't strictly comparing the two, you were saying the costs associated with the PSV are indicative of the PS4 being expensive.
Translating that Vita hardware strategy into PS4's strategy gets you a powerful home console, though not extravagently so, that uses cheap components (compared to something like the PS3), and it takes a loss, but not a big one... similar to the PS2 or Xbox 360. And remember, the Wii U, like the 3DS will likely be cheap in comparison, but the next Xbox won't.
So when you say the PSV is evidence of Sony's strategy still being "highest cost and highest end" , you're wrong in the context of handhelds, and extra wrong in the context of PS4 and it's competitors.
Do the PS4 rumors say the specs are better then the 720 rumored specs? No.

Wonder how all the graphics happy PS3 fans are gonna spin this one (im looking at the guys who drool at Uncharted 3 desert landscapes)

More than just graphics. It's also AI, physics, load times....etc..etc.
To awnswer that guys question, I really don't know. We don't have any recent semi-credible rumors for Xbox 720's specs.
The latest PS4 rumors are vague as well.
