No, I indicated that the bells and whistles of a top-end GPU aren't conducive to a competitive console price. Even taking the unlikely markup you've described, $200 for GPU doesn't leave much budget for the rest of the system and profit, and I don't think anyone's hoping to ship a $599 console again. Nevertheless, your breakdown doesn't include the key component: the price of GDDR5.

Of course it does. Look at the chart again:

$32.35 for 1.5GB of GDDR5

So approx $160 for 8GB of GDDR5, I can see why MS hasn't specced it.
