so if Sony or MS releases a console with that kind of GPU with regular controller how much you think would be the prices of the consoles?

Isn't Microsoft planning to bundle Kinect along with it as well?

Microsoft could probably hit $400 while taking a moderate loss ...

I'm honestly not sure about Sony. I could be wrong but I suspect that Sony continues to sell the PS3 at $300 because they can not afford to reduce its price even though they could (potentially) break even or turn a profit at $200; and (on top of that) they haven't dropped the PS-Vita's price to below $200 even with its abysmal sales. Sony needs every dollar of profit at the moment and I think it is more likely that they will manufacture a $300 console and sell it for $400 than make a $500 console and sell it for $400.

Yeah I can see that $400 would be the eye candy for both.  In terms of GPU power, do you see both consoles having 3x-4x the power of the Wii-U?

How much will the games cost? Still $59.99?
