For $400-450 bucks, you expect something that is "light years" or even just 8 times more powerful than Wii U, which is itself a money loser. Video gamers are some of the cheapest fans out there.....aren't we?

Sony will go bankrupt selling to their devoted fans.

So which extreme should sony take?  Make their console price match the ps3 price of 60000yen/600 dollars and risk another episode of 2006 or undercut and sell at $299-$350 and risk another episode like 2006?

Sigh, I feel bad for these guys.  That's a shit load of people working tons of hours and selling into a market that is merciless.  Audiophile, videophile,  autophile, watch collectors, heck I go through enough golf equipment a year than I spend on consoles per generation.  Most enthusiasts PAY.  Look at PC enthusiasts even.  Video games just don't get the love man.  I try my best in supporting these guys, as I pick up all the consoles even though I really only like strategy and MMOs.  But it's just a sad sight coming into these forums and seeing such low expectations on what is a good price.
