Japanese newspaper claims PS4 will cost over 40,000 yen, releasing this year

The PS3 launched at 50k and 40k yen (the two models) and were priced at $600 and $500 in the US.

So does a 40k+ yen PS4 = $500 again for a console in US?

Not sure how much the conversion rates have changed, but if this rumor has any merit, that is not looking good for Sony.
