I guess the PS4 would probably be priced at $600 again or even higher if it went with that graphics card right?

so do you have any examples of how the graphics would look on the current rumored PS4 graphics card?

I think Sony or Microsoft can put a middle range AMD "Sea Islands" GPU to be released next year... Radeon HD 8850 (Oland) can be close to what you saw in these demos and the price is not that high like HD 7970 or GTX 680... so a PS4 below $600 is possible.

There is the Radeon HD 8770 (Orust) to be released too... even more cheaper... less than $150 final retail price (for Sony or Microsoft will be way less).

For me a PS4 with a good CPU plus HD 8770 and 8GB of RAM will be priced the same than Wii U (<$400).

PS. The Wii U have a dated hardware... so if it didn't have the Pad the retail price could ended less than $250.

I don't really know much about this tech stuff, surely if the PS4/720 were to release in 2014 rather than 2013, the cost of this GPU would drop down slightly. I mean I do want the new consoles to come soon, but if its at the cost of performance it might be better to wait another year.
