Budget? Lol. The costs of the PS4 R&D is going to be quite a bit lower than the PS3. This is because Sony had to not only R&D Blu-ray and the Cell, but also include the tech inside a $500 console that cost ~$800 to manufacture. The PS4 will still use Blu-ray, which has dropped exponentially when compared to 2006. Even if Sony were to go with a Cell 2.0 or a hyrid of techs, the vast majority of R&D cost will have been covered with the original's creation. Also, RAM has dropped quite a bit in cost. This leaves a much bigger portion of the budget to go into a very good CPU and GPU. I wouldn't be surprised to see the PS4 launch for ~$400-$450, while either breaking even or being sold at a slight loss, and have as much as a gap as the PS2 to PS3.
